Autofil ('Autophile') is a Norwegian car magazine that was launched in fall 2002. It is Norway's largest independent car magazine, with 11 regular issues a year plus four special issues. The magazine is based on an NRK TV program of the same name. The headquarters is in Oslo. Autofil was previously published by Se og Hør press, which has been part of Aller Media since 2013.
