New EVs 2026 – the models coming to Norway

BMW Neue Klasse: iX3 and i3

BMW's Neue Klasse platform is the biggest news from Munich in years. The new BMW iX3 is a mid-size SUV with up to 805 km range (WLTP) and a massive 108 kWh battery. Charging from 10 to 80 percent takes under 30 minutes. Prices start at NOK 679,900 for the Fully Charged variant and go up to NOK 892,000 for the M Sport Pro.

Arriving at the same time is the BMW i3 Sedan on the same platform — 900 km range, 469 horsepower and 0–100 km/h in 4.0 seconds. Starting price: NOK 579,900. That is an aggressive price point for a premium sedan with that kind of range.

Mercedes: GLC and CLA Electric

The Mercedes GLC 400 4MATIC is the electric version of Norway's best-selling Mercedes model. With 702 km range, 483 horsepower and 0–100 km/h in 4.3 seconds, this is a serious competitor to the BMW iX3. Starting price: NOK 699,900.

The Mercedes CLA will be the brand's first model on the new MMA platform — a compact EV with modern design and an expected range of over 600 km. Norwegian pricing has not yet been confirmed, but the model is expected in Norwegian showrooms in the second half of 2026.

Porsche Cayenne Electric

Porsche's best-seller is finally going electric. The Cayenne Electric starts at NOK 1,116,400 with up to 642 km range. The top model, the Cayenne Turbo Electric, costs NOK 1,767,100 and delivers the performance you would expect from a Porsche — 0–100 km/h in under 4 seconds. Both arrive in the first half of 2026.

Affordable newcomers: Renault 5, Skoda Elroq and Cupra Raval

The Renault 5 E-Tech is this year's charm offensive — a retro-inspired small EV with a starting price under NOK 300,000. Range is limited (up to 410 km WLTP), but for city driving and commuting it is more than enough. Already available at Norwegian dealers.

The Skoda Elroq is a compact SUV with up to 524 km range and 10–80% charging in 26 minutes. Skoda delivers plenty of car for the money as usual, with an expected starting price of around NOK 350,000.

The Cupra Raval is a small urban EV based on the Volkswagen Group's MEB Entry platform. Expected in Norwegian showrooms towards the end of 2026, with an estimated price of around NOK 250,000 — among the most affordable new EVs ever.

Volkswagen ID. Cross and ID. Polo

Volkswagen follows up with two new models on the updated MEB platform. The ID. Cross is a compact crossover with 216 horsepower and up to 420 km range. The ID. Polo will be an affordable small EV for the mass market. Both are expected towards the end of 2026.

Nissan Leaf — third generation

The EV pioneer is back. The new Nissan Leaf is shorter than its predecessor (435 cm) but more modern. The largest battery is 75 kWh with 602 km range. CCS charging replaces the old CHAdeMO standard — something many have been waiting for. Norwegian pricing has not yet been confirmed.

Other models to watch

• Hyundai IONIQ 3 — new compact EV at 429 cm, launching 2026
• Toyota C-HR+ — compact crossover, starting price NOK 406,900
• Alpine A390 — electric sport fastback from the Renault Group

What does this mean for prices?

2026 brings more competition across all segments — and that is pushing prices down. With the Renault 5, Cupra Raval and Skoda Elroq, you can now buy a new EV with decent range for well under NOK 350,000. At the same time, the premium segment has never had better range — the BMW i3 Sedan at 900 km and the Volvo EX60 at 810 km are setting new standards.
