The Borgward BX5 is a Sino-German subcompact luxury crossover SUV from the Borgward Group and produced in China by Foton Motor. A fastback version called the Borgward BX6 was later launched.
The world premiere of the Borgward BX5 was at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show.[1] Like the larger BX7, the BX5 is initially produced for the Chinese market. The market launch took place on 24 March 2017.[2]
In China, the five-seater was driven to market launch by a 1400NaN0, turbocharged 1.8-litre petrol engine. As standard, the BX5 has a 6-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive, optional four-wheel drive is available.[3] Later a 1.4-litre petrol engine with 1100NaN0 and front-wheel drive and a 2.0-litre petrol engine with 1650NaN0 with all-wheel drive from the BX7 was made available. In Germany, the BX5 is unlike initially thought to be sold exclusively with an electric motor.[4]
