Borgward BX6
Borgward is a German brand that ceased operations in the 1960’s but has been revived by China’s Beiqi Foton Motor, a subsidiary of BAIC. The BX6 is its third model, after the larger BX7 and the smaller BX5. The BX6 has sportier lines, making it an SUV Coupe, along the likes of the BMW X4/X6 and the Mercedes-Benz GLC Coupe/GLE Coupe. Its modern and clean design both inside and out helps it stand out among other domestic crossovers and wouldn’t stand out in the European streets, something Borgward is still planning as well. The BX6 is powered by a 2-liter turbocharged engine with 224hp/280Nm mated to a 6AT. A 1,4T including a hybrid version of that powertrain are expected to arrive later. Dimensions are 4.601/1.877/1.656mm with a 2.656mm wheelbase. Prices range from 182.800 yuan to 199.800 yuan (€24.500,- / US$28,500 to €26.800 / US$31.100), which is premium pricing for a domestic brand.
