Find model variant: which version is your car?
The same model and model year often comes in many variants — with different engines, drivetrains, trim levels and list prices. Enter the registration number and we find the most likely variant based on power, weight, fuel and body, and show the original list price for every variant.
How we calculate the estimate
We look up the car at the Norwegian Public Roads Administration and link it to the right model in the OFV list-price data. We then rank the variants for the model year by how well they match the car’s power, kerb weight, fuel, drivetrain, body and seat count. The best-matching variant is shown as most likely, but several variants can share price and specification — so we always show the full list with the original list price.
When valuing or selling a used car, the model variant matters. A “Volkswagen Golf 2018” can be anything from a basic entry model to a well-equipped GTI — with large differences in the original list price. The registration number alone doesn’t tell the whole story, but combined with technical data from the Public Roads Administration we get far.
The tool uses power (hp/kW), kerb weight, fuel, drivetrain and body to find the best-fitting variant. Kerb weight is especially useful for telling apart, say, 5- and 7-seat versions, while power separates the engine options. When several variants are close, we show them all so you can confirm based on the equipment you know the car has.
The original list price is a good starting point for assessing today’s value. Two cars of the same model and year but different variant start at different prices — and that difference follows them throughout their life in the used market.
