TREE NEWS reports: Chinese-brand cars accounted for 22.5% of new passenger car registrations in Norway in October, a monthly record, Norway’s road federation said on November 2. Registrations of Chinese brands reached 3,534 units, up from 1,879 a year earlier, topping the previous record of 22.1% set in July. Xpeng registered 932 cars, ranking fifth among all brands, while BYD registered 816 and Changan rose to 339 from 15 a year earlier.
Chinese brands hit record 22.5% of Norway’s October new car registrations
AI take
Norway's EV-heavy market is becoming a genuine proving ground for Chinese brands, and the breadth of the October gains—Xpeng near the top of the overall table, BYD close behind, and Changan's steep climb—suggests this is no longer a single-brand story. The shift matters most for European incumbents facing price pressure in a market where Chinese marques now hold more than a fifth of registrations. Whether this share holds through winter, and whether newer entrants like Changan keep scaling, is the open question.
