Vehicle model
Borgward Gamme Borgward - électrique/hybride
Borgward's electrified offering is represented by the BXi7, a 100% electric version of the BX7 SUV, presented for the first time at the 2017 Shanghai Auto Show. It was the brand's attempt to follow the transition to electric mobility, then booming in China. The BXi7 targeted urban customers receptive to electrification, in the midsize SUV segment. This model illustrated the relaunched brand's technological ambition, but was never marketed in North America and disappeared with Borgward's bankruptcy in late 2022. Quebec note: for an electric SUV of this size, certified winter tires remain mandatory in winter; electric models, being heavier, place greater demands on tires, hence the importance of respecting the load indices and the original dimension.

Tire and wheel compatibility
Comme Borgward n'est pas distribué en Amérique du Nord, ses VUS (BX3, BX5, BX6, BX7, BXi7) ne se croisent pas sur les routes québécoises. À titre indicatif, les VUS compacts et intermédiaires de ce type utilisent généralement des jantes de 17 à 19 pouces, avec un entraxe couramment de type 5 trous. Pour tout véhicule de gabarit comparable circulant au Québec, les pneus d'hiver homologués (pictogramme montagne-flocon) sont obligatoires du 1er décembre au 15 mars; il est conseillé de monter une dimension hiver dédiée et de vérifier l'entraxe et le diamètre exacts sur l'étiquette du véhicule avant tout achat de pneus ou de jantes.
