Which has lower fuel consumption, the Borgward BX5 or BX6?
2 Answers
BX6 fuel consumption is 7.1L, BX5 fuel consumption is 8.0L-8.7L, so the Borgward BX5 consumes less fuel. Correct fuel consumption calculation formula: Fuel consumed ÷ distance traveled × 100 = fuel consumption per 100 kilometers. The data of fuel consumed is relatively difficult to obtain. Generally, a full fuel tank is used as the initial data. After driving a certain distance, the fuel tank is filled again, and the fuel refill data provided by the gas station is taken as the final result. Fuel-saving tips: Idling for more than 1 minute consumes the same amount of fuel as starting the engine once. The fuel consumed by idling the engine for 5 minutes can allow the car to travel more than 1 kilometer.
I've been driving a Borgward BX5 for two years now, and as a daily commuter, I'm quite familiar with its fuel consumption. The BX5 generally consumes less fuel, with my 1.4T version averaging around 7.5-8 liters per 100 kilometers in the city, and as low as 6.5 liters on the highway. A friend has a BX6 with a 2.0T engine, which averages over 9 liters due to its higher horsepower and heavier body. If you drive steadily—maintaining a constant speed and avoiding sudden acceleration—the BX5's advantage becomes even more apparent. On the highway, the BX5 saves more money, while the BX6's fuel consumption spikes in sport mode. Overall, the BX5 is more economical and practical, especially for budget-conscious young people.
