It's now -10 degrees celsius in Norway, and I've just noticed that the car doors suffer from extreme squeak/crunching noise when I open and close the doors in cold weather.

Have anyone else noticed this? The car isn't even a year old. I have sprayed some CRC Multilube Pro on the hinches now to see if it goes away.
 
Is it definitely the hinges ?

Have you tried treating all the rubber (and felt) seals with a rubber treatment such as Gummi Pflege or Autoglym Rubber and Vinyl.

Definitely the hinges. I can easily test the door without making it touch the rubber.
 
Spray the door stop straps as well, they sometimes get covered in grit from the road.
