FIRST LOOK: Borgward BX5 and BX7 in Malaysia – we talk about the brand, looks, build quality and price

Posted in Borgward, Cars, Local News, Videos / By /

Chinese-owned German brand Borgward is set to enter the Malaysian car market very soon, doing so with two SUVs – the BX5 and BX7 made their first public appearance in the country at the ongoing Malaysia Autoshow 2018.

The examples on show are left-hand drive units, but local assembly of right-hand drive versions are set to follow, with a CKD programme expected to kick off sometime in the third quarter. It was previously reported that local production will also cater for export to other ASEAN markets.

Borgward, which was formed in 1919 before going bankrupt in 1961, was resurrected in 2015 – the brand is owned by Chinese automaker Beiqi Foton Motor, a subsidiary of BAIC Group. The BX7, which made its debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 2015, heralded the brand’s return.

The 4.7 metre-long SUV, available in five, six or seven-seat versions, is powered by a 2.0 litre turbocharged four-pot offering 224 PS at 5,500 rpm and 300 Nm from 1,500 to 4,500 rpm. It’s paired with a six-speed automatic transmission, and the SUV is equipped with a permanent all-wheel drive system.

The BX5, meanwhile, is a slightly more compact five-seater. Motive power is provided by a 1.8 litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine offering 190 PS and 280 Nm, with a six-speed auto transmission and all-wheel drive again on call. There’s also a downsized 1.4 litre turbo four-pot with 150 PS and 250 Nm available in China. Local specs have yet to be revealed.

As for pricing, nothing has been confirmed just yet, but on-site reps have mentioned that the BX5 will be “under RM100k,” while the BX7 will go for “under RM200k.” How much under, we’ll have to wait and see. Watch this video as we talk about the revived brand and take a closer look at the two SUVs, exploring their styling and quality.

Comments

  • AI-generated Summary ✨

    Comments on the Borgward BX5 and BX7 mainly focus on their looks, build quality, and pricing, with some expressing optimism about China's rapid automotive progress and potential to surpass Korean brands. Many are skeptical about Chinese quality and reliability, citing past issues and global reputation, and prefer established Japanese, German, and Korean brands due to concerns over longevity and after-sales service. There are discussions about pricing expectations, with some expecting the BX7 to be over RM170k, and doubts about Chinese brands penetrating the Malaysian market dominated by Western and Japanese products. Overall, opinions are mixed, with a general tendency to remain cautious about Chinese cars, citing quality and brand perception concerns, but some recognize China's potential to improve and compete in the future.

    Nasty interior quality, questionable after-sales, unknown parts pricing, but priced against Japanese counterparts?

    Hmm how about no.

      You just described Proton and Geely. Who dare spend RM100k on a China car?

      It is not like you are buying a Xiaomi handphone for RM499. If rosak, you can just throw it in a bin.

      But when you spend RM100k on a China car….you cannot throw it away into the bin if it is a crappy car.

      China cars gonna have a hard time to sell in Malaysia

            China car can never penetrate a market like Malaysia which glorifies Western Products and Japanese products.

            Why do you think Marks and Spencer do so well in Malaysia? It is our appetite for Western quality goods

          Haval sales is very bad cause people know RV is very bad.

      OMG, BX7 price is under RM200k. Are China makers crazy. Even in Hafriz words, quality is few steps lower compared to Japanese brands.

      This is an indication how much Boyue will cost. Definitely over RM100k. But who in Malaysia dare to buy a China car for RM100k?

      A good Japanese SUV 7 seater like Nissan X-trail is only RM126k after discounts.

      I rather get a time tested and proven Japanese car that is sold in over 200 countries worldwide.

      China car, 99% is sold in China. It is hardly sold globally.

    When I first arrived to China, Chery, Chang Cheng (Great Wall), Geely and other brands were quite horrible to even look at. After being in China for a while, the progress of these brands, and newer brands, are remarkable in terms of developments and acquisitions. I didn’t know what a Geely car looked like until recently after they acquired Volvo and now a small stake in Daimler but their cars are quite decent. The Boyue will be a pleasant surprise for the Msian market as it is quite a nice car. I’m sure it’ll come with the standard warranty. But even the Haval new range for 2018 is quite impressive, although we don’t get it in Msia due to poorer sales. Rover, now acquired by Shanghai Automobile International Corporation (SAIC), is rebadged Roewe, is quite decent looking due to a JV with GM. All in all, don’t underestimate China’s automotive prowess, they will catch up to Koreans, and then the Japanese. I don’t doubt that China will catch up, overall, very soon…unless you can afford premium brands, be very prepared to own one!

U can turn into a Honda or Toyota overnight so give these people some slack will ya? China automotive has progressed so rapidly that they will surpass the Koreans soon. Just give them a few more years and they will be on leveled playing ground..unlike Proton which took more than 30 years and still can’t stand on their own.

    Let me just summarised the opinions here.

    Love the time tested T/H/N brands & absolutely don’t trust Chinese brands.

    Funny how in the mid 70s, the same was true for Ford/Holden (loved it) & T/H/D (hated it). (D=Datsun, pre name change of today Nissan).

    s6001 aptly put it in an eloquent way for he has done his analysis & is far sighted enough to see the possible outcome. Sadly many disagree as they’re too emotionally connected to the present situation & perhaps does not wish to acknowledge this possible future outcome.

    There’s no absolute right nor wrong. History is repeating itself. If you’re a student of history, you’ll see the same trend happening every generation.

        Youre looking short term & small picture (M’sia only). Proton is just a stepping stone for now. Branding wise, Proton is more well known & easier to accept than an unknown Chinese brand. Short term, easier to penetrate new markets with an established brand, even if it’s a brand comes with lots of baggage. Bonus of course is an established modern factory with a trained workforce. Literally can start immediately rather than wait 2 years to build a brand new factory & wait another 6 months to train workforce.

        But once the Chinese brand is established (maybe in 10 years time), Proton brand may not be necessary anymore. Marketing strategy usually run both short & long term concurrently.

        These Chinese manufacturers are looking to expand & one untapped market is the RHD market. Rather than jump into an established market like Australia, NZ, UK, Ireland, why not test out in some emerging market (like ASEAN) & refine along the way. Once you’ve got the right manufacturing-marketing mix/formula, only then penetrate the established market. Along the way, you build branding to help later penetrate established market. Remember, the Chinese from way back when (Admiral Cheng Ho) has always played the long game. They have the patience, resilience & resources.

    I own a Japanese car which is almost 14 years old except for minor issues it is so damn reliable so much so I find it hard to sell even though the driving pleasure goes to Germans. My point is reliability and driving pleasure two reasons for purchase which the Japanese and Germans are known for, Chinese cars are getting closer but not there yet.

      That’s a fair comment Mohan. PRC will go far when it sets its mind on something. Its huge population are never short of smart and talented people. We were ahead of China 20 years ago but look where it is and where we are today. While many Malaysians are still busy and preoccupied with politic, race, religion and sex issues on a daily basis, PRC Chinese are busy with R&D on science, high tech., e-tech and economy. That’s the difference bet. them and countries too obsessed with unproductive issues.

    Borgward needs constructive inputs and strategies, short-term and long-term.
    Study properly the history of premium brands and their characteristics.
    Study the DNAs of German vehicles.
    Continuing to be short-sighted, Borgward will become a Chinese brand.

    For this BX5 and BX7, they passed, on exterior looks/designs.

    7 years warranty and at fixed buyback value after 7 years will help promote this brand. Marketing guys should get to work. Main concern here is brand name, reliability and secondhand value.

    China culture is, the cost of building a new product is cheaper than fixing a product.
    Hence they will not build quality products.

    Dont look down chinese product. Your Iphone is made in china with 99% chinese component. Even huawei already in top level competing with apple and samsung. Just go and china and look, if their national car can survive the traffic and road condition in beijing and shanghai , the car is almost bulletproof.

    saw most comments and ppl reject China products due to quality issues and this and that.
    But did u really used China product before? have u been to China before?
    Once u been to China then u will know how tiny u are in Malaysia.
    Even our govt partner (or asking for help from China).
    So u think china products still that lousy? exploit when u used it?
    it is a matter of time that eventually all the things we use will be from China (or at least owned by China company).

    Japan Brand Name but Made in Thailand or Indonesia, most of Malaysian said Japan car rather than Thailand or Indonesia car.

    This is German Brand name with true history in German but Made in China, then most of Malaysian said China Car.

    This kind of people just lying to himself.
