Vehicle model
Borgward Gamme Borgward - utilitaires ou VUS
The SUV and crossover lineup is the core of the relaunched brand. Borgward focused exclusively on SUVs: the BX7, a midsize five- or seven-seater unveiled at Frankfurt in 2015; the BX5, a compact crossover launched afterward; the BX6, a more dynamic fastback coupe variant; and the BX3, an urban subcompact aimed at a younger, city-dwelling audience. This range targeted families and urban drivers seeking an SUV with German design at an accessible premium price, mainly in the Chinese market. Tracing its historic roots to Bremen, the brand also produced light commercial vehicles (Goliath, Hansa). Practical note: for an SUV of this size in Quebec, winter tires certified with the mountain-snowflake symbol are mandatory in winter; check the exact bolt pattern and wheel diameter on the placard before buying.

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.
