Latest Updates

Friday, 15 November 2024 12:45 AM The Borgward BX7 is set to receive a successor, with rumors suggesting that only the electric version (BX i7) will be replaced in the near future. This move is part of Borgwards strategy to strengthen its SUV lineup. I think this focus on electric vehicles is a smart move given the global shift towards sustainability.

Thursday, 02 May 2019 04:15 PM Borgward has been working on reviving its brand with new SUV models, including the BX7. The company announced plans to open a plant in Bremen, Germany, for the assembly of the BXi7, an electric SUV evolved from the BX7. This move indicates Borgwards commitment to its home market. I believe this could be a significant step in regaining customer trust in Europe.

Thursday, 02 May 2019 02:00 PM The Borgward BX7 had a successful quarter in 2019, with sales rising by 23.5% year-over-year, selling 2,309 units. This increase was a major factor in Borgwards overall sales rebound. The BX7s performance is a positive sign for the companys revival efforts. I think this shows the BX7 is a competitive player in the SUV market.

Thursday, 02 May 2019 12:28 PM Borgward announced facelifts for the two BX7 variants in 2020/2021, with successors expected in 2023 or 2024. This indicates the companys ongoing commitment to updating and improving its SUV lineup. I believe these updates will help keep the BX7 competitive in the market.

Sunday, 01 July 2018 06:08 PM Borgward planned to sell the BX7 in Germany starting from July 2018, with sales to be handled via the internet and service provided by ATU, a network of repair shops. This innovative sales approach was aimed at making the vehicle more accessible to European customers. I believe this online sales strategy could help Borgward reach a wider audience.

Tuesday, 01 May 2018 08:30 AM The Borgward BX7 has an electric version, the BX i7, which was first available in May 2018. The BX i7 features a slightly different front end and is powered by an e-Propulsion system with 180kW and 390Nm of torque. This electric variant is part of Borgwards push into the EV market. I think the BX i7 is an attractive option for those looking for an eco-friendly SUV.

Friday, 01 July 2016 08:18 PM The Borgward BX7 is available in various trim levels, including the BX7 28T and the upper-range BX7 TS. The TS model features a more upscale interior, larger wheels, and a sportier exterior design. The vehicle is powered by a turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-four engine producing 225 horsepower. I think the TS model offers great value for those looking for a premium SUV experience.

Sunday, 01 May 2016 12:07 PM The Borgward BX7 is produced at Fotons Beijing assembly plant and was first sold in China in May 2016. The vehicle is available in five, six, and seven-passenger seating configurations, making it versatile for different family needs. I think the various seating options make the BX7 a practical choice for many buyers.

Wednesday, 16 September 2015 01:03 AM Borgward unveiled the BX7 at the 2015 International Motor Show in Frankfurt, Germany. This marked the companys return to the automotive market after a 45-year hiatus. The BX7 is a compact luxury crossover SUV developed with the help of Chinese truck manufacturer Foton. I believe the unique blend of German design and Chinese manufacturing could be a winning formula.

Wednesday, 16 September 2015 12:28 AM The Borgward BX7 is based on the GM2900 platform, which was originally used by the Saab 9-3. This platform was acquired by the BAIC group, the owner of Foton, from Saab in 2009. The BX7s design is unique but benefits from the proven technology of the Saab 9-3. I believe this heritage adds to the BX7s reliability and performance.

Borgward BX7 Review

30 Sep, 2015 06:56 AM

Synopsis

India is a land of opportunities for luxury automakers as increasing number of sales is creating new gateways to many non-established brands in India. The time when Mercedes, Audi and BMW were the only players is gone with the entry of Volvo, Jaguar, Maserati and others. The list would soon have an addition named Borgward, a European car maker which has made another comeback in the industry after its ceased operations in the 60's. The grandson of the inventor revived the brand Borgward AG in 2008 and the company is back in operations with a full blow now.

The first car announced for the Indian subcontinent is the Borgward BX7. Competition has gone very tough with the other automakers choosing to assemble their vehicles in India, forcing the newcomer to follow the same route as others. Initially, it may be bought as a CBU only. The BX7 looks nothing less than a perfectly sized SUV, rivalling directly with the likes of Audi Q5 and BMW X5. The design looks premium, especially its front vertically aligned 16- line grill design. The car has been kept 5-seater, displaying a lot of space for every passenger in its luxury wrapped cabin.

The surprising part from the manufacturer is its 1981 cc, turbo-charged petrol engine producing 221 HP @ 5500 rpm and 300 NM @ 1750-5500 rpm. The SUV may use a 6-speed automatic or a 7-speed dual clutch transmission. The top speed of the BX7 is listed at 202 kmph and it claims a 10 second sprint from 0-100 kmph. All the wheels will carry disc brakes, loaded with safety features like ABS, EBD and VSM. The 6 airbags would ensure a safe ride every time.

Luxury would be kept at priority, providing rich interior with loads of features. The 12.3 inch infotainment system would be dash integrated, providing ease of use with its controls on the steering wheel also. The BX7 would get a huge panoramic sunroof and also comes with automatic climate control with dual zone control. The Borgward BX7 will have a tough fight with others ranging between 40-50 lakhs, providing an advantage of expected price of INR 30,00,000. The availability of a single petrol engine can affect its position.
