Borgward BX5 SUV
The German brand, which was revived by
its founder's grandson after a 40-year hiatus, is preparing for the debut of
its second model, the BX5 SUV.
The Carscoops spies caught the people's during
testing in Germany, with the prototype wrapped in the usual camouflage.
Borgward is aiming to offer a
three-model lineup, all of them SUVs, with the recently-revealed BX7 sitting on
top and the BX5 and BX3 models sitting under it. The spies said that the size
of the BX5 is much similar to a VW Tiguan.
The brand's resurrection happened mainly
due to Chinese investors Beiqi Foton Motor. It will initially focus on
penetrating China and other emerging markets before making it to Europe
sometime around 2018.
Just like the bigger BX7, the BX5 is
rumored to be based on an existing platform from BAIC, which owns Foton. Borgward is going to reveal a concept
previewing the BX5 at the Geneva Motor Show.
