Where is Borgward Produced?
2 Answers
Borgward is produced at its smart factory in Miyun, Beijing. Its vehicle lineup includes: BX5, BX7 TS, BXi7, BX6, BX7, etc. Taking the 2020 Borgward BX5 Automatic Two-Wheel Drive New Edge model as an example, it is a compact 5-door, 5-seat SUV with dimensions of: length 4490 mm, width 1877 mm, height 1675 mm, and a wheelbase of 2685 mm. The 2020 Borgward BX5 Automatic Two-Wheel Drive New Edge model is equipped with a 1.4T engine and a 6-speed automatic transmission, with a maximum power of 110 kW and a maximum torque of 250 Nm. Its drive system is front-wheel drive, with a front suspension using MacPherson independent suspension and a rear suspension using multi-link independent suspension.
I've been fascinated by cars since childhood, and the story of Borgward is quite touching. This brand is a German classic, originating in the 1950s with production plants in Hamburg and other locations, once the pride of European cars in those years. But things have changed significantly now. After being acquired by China's Beiqi Foton in 2015, the production focus shifted to China, where modern factories like the one in Changzhou manufacture the BX series models. Although Germany remains the design hub, manufacturing in China reduces costs by at least 20%, making the cars more affordable than purely German brands while retaining their German heritage. As a car enthusiast, I find this evolution quite natural—brand revival relies on international collaboration, and global exports also make the used car market more vibrant.
