2 Answers
Borgward BX5 is a domestic model. The following is an introduction to the Borgward BX5: 1. Exterior Design: The exterior design focuses on a youthful and dynamic theme. The bold front design and the fastback-style rear further amplify the vehicle's dynamic elements. 2. Body Dimensions: It is a compact SUV with a length of 4483mm, a width of 1876mm, a height of 1677mm, and a wheelbase of 2685mm. 3. Powertrain: Equipped with a 1.4T turbocharged direct-injection engine, it delivers a maximum power of 110kW and a maximum torque of 250N·m. Thanks to its lightweight body design, it features high performance, high comfort, low fuel consumption, and low emissions. 4. Transmission: It comes with an Aisin 6-speed automatic transmission. This transmission is designed to be compact and lightweight, effectively reducing the demand for engine compartment space while lowering fuel consumption.
The Borgward BX5 is actually quite an interesting car. I researched this brand last year - it was indeed an old German brand originally, but had long been discontinued. All the Borgward BX5s you see on the road now are domestically produced. You know Beiqi Foton, that famous truck manufacturer? They acquired the Borgward brand. Every BX5 rolls off the assembly line at their Miyun factory in Beijing, with most parts sourced domestically too. So calling it a pure domestic vehicle isn't wrong - it just carries the historical legacy of a German badge, which makes it different from genuine joint-venture cars like Volkswagen or Toyota. Some friends who own BX5s told me maintenance costs are significantly lower than pure imported vehicles.
