Detailed explanation of the rear space of the Borgward BX7 seven-seater version is as follows: 1. Vehicle Appearance: The Borgward BX7 offers more abundant configurations and a more imposing appearance compared to vehicles in the same price range. With both 5-seater and 7-seater versions and a body width of 1911mm, it creates a 'mobile home' with outstanding cost performance for users. The 2018 Borgward BX7 has already been launched, with the main changes focusing on details and configurations. The new BX7 adds a platinum gold paint option, chrome trim inside the front grille, and new 19-inch TS sport wheels. 2. Rear Space Size of the Borgward BX7 Seven-Seater Version In the Borgward BX7 seven-seater version, after folding down the second and third-row seats, the space remains quite ideal with good flatness.

I test drove this car twice, paying special attention to the rear space of the seven-seater version. The second-row seats can slide back and forth, providing adequate legroom for someone like me who is 1.8 meters tall, and three adults can sit without feeling cramped. The third row is the real focus: the seat cushion height is relatively low, causing people taller than 1.7 meters to sit with their legs curled up, with less than a fist's distance between their knees and the front-row seatback. Accessing the third row requires flipping the second-row seats, and the passage width is just barely sufficient. When used as a five-seater, the trunk is enormous, but in seven-seat mode, the luggage space shrinks to about the size of two carry-on suitcases. For long trips, the third row is manageable for children, but adults will likely find it uncomfortable after more than an hour—I recommend letting passengers switch seats every two hours to ease discomfort.

My friend owns this car, and I've hitched a ride several times. The second row is quite user-friendly, with a low floor hump in the middle and adjustable backrest angles, making long trips comfortable for parents without complaints. The third row, however, is awkward—at 174 cm tall, my hair brushes against the roof, and I have to angle my legs. The seat cushions are thin and hard, with noticeable bumps over speed bumps. It's okay for short trips like picking up kids, but I wouldn’t recommend children sit in the third row for school runs over three kilometers. The windows are also quite small, making the rear feel a bit cramped. A plus point is how easily the third row folds down—just press the electric button, and it flattens, making it great for stuffing camping gear.

As a frequent renter of seven-seater vehicles, the rear seating of the Borgward BX7 is considered average. The second-row legroom is 3cm shorter than the Highlander, but the shoulder room is sufficient for three adults to sit side by side without touching. The third-row knee room measures only 31cm in actual tests, about 6cm shorter than the Li L8. It can temporarily accommodate middle school students, but adults have to bend their legs. Air vents and USB ports are adequately provided, though the cup holder placement is awkward. The trunk space shrinks to just 280 liters in seven-seat mode, making grocery shopping tight. Overall, it's suitable for short-distance, low-frequency use. For long-term seven-seat needs, a full-size SUV is recommended.

Last month, I accompanied my sister to check out seven-seater cars, with a focus on experiencing the rear seats of the Borgward BX7. The second-row seats can be adjusted forward and backward by 15cm, allowing my 156cm-tall mother to sit cross-legged comfortably. However, the headroom in the third row is only 89cm, making my 178cm-tall brother-in-law feel like he was crawling into a cave. The biggest issue is the seat height from the floor, which is just 28cm, leaving thighs unsupported and causing discomfort. But there are clever design touches: shoes can be tucked under the second-row seats, and the third row has storage compartments on both sides. The independent air conditioning controls are very practical, quickly cooling the rear seats in summer. For family use, it’s more suitable to install a child safety seat in the second row and have school-aged children sit in the third row.

I've taken my colleague's Borgward BX7 on long trips. The second-row legroom offers more than two fists of space, and the backrest can recline halfway for watching shows. However, the third row feels like the last row of economy class, with knees pressed against the front seatbacks. The biggest surprise is the space flexibility: the second row splits 4/6 and the third row folds 5/5, allowing a mattress to fit in and turn it into a double bed. When using the third row, it's recommended to slide the second row forward by 5cm to free up a precious 4cm of knee room. Tests show passengers under 165cm can barely tolerate it for an hour—those taller should take breaks at every service area. It would be even better if the manufacturer thickened the third-row seat cushions by 3cm.
