Electric Vehicle From Borgward Wins Award

A leading panel of judges from the German Design Council – the top German authority for brand and design – has once again honored a product from Borgward. The  BXi7, an all-electric concept SUV, has won the German Design Award for 2018. This award has also previously been presented to three other Borgward models: the  BX7, the  BX5, and the BX6 SUV coupe concept.

“This honor for our Borgward BXi7 electric model in 2017 is already the fourth time we have received the renowned German Design Award,” said Anders Warming, Global Design President at Borgward Group AG, at the company’s headquarters in Stuttgart. ”

The characteristic exterior design of the BXi7 was created at the design center in Renningen near Stuttgart. It reflects the fresh and future-oriented spirit of the Borgward ePROPULSION variable electric drive platform.

The electric version of the vehicle differs from the normal BX7, which is powered by a combustion engine, in a number of significant details. For example, the exterior boasts the exclusive LIGHTNING BLUE paint job, which will be reserved for all Borgward concept vehicles featuring an electric drive system in the future. Other exclusive design features in the BXi7 include the roof rails with their seamless transition into the roof spoiler, the front and rear bumpers, the rear diffuser, and the aerodynamically optimized wheels. The exterior design is rounded out by the blue color applications in SKY COLOUR and the signature LED daytime running lights.

The interior of the BXi7 is also upgraded by distinctive design features. These features include large decorative elements in LIGHTNING BLUE, discreet trim, and the typical BORGWARD diamond-shaped seat stitching in SKY COLOUR. All of them send a clear message that this is a different kind of drive system. This impression is enhanced by the newly designed gear selector lever in the center console and the two large LCD displays on the dashboard.
