Summary

The Borgward 1800 with a diesel engine was on a par with its "petrol brother" in terms of dimensions, driving characteristics, appearance and equipment. However, at that time you still had to pay attention to a few things with a diesel vehicle, the handling was different. However, this also gave the car other qualities. This historical test report by 'hobby' from 1953 reflects the opinion of the car at the time, illustrated with historical illustrations and a sales brochure from the period.

Preview (beginning of the article)

Externally and internally, as well as in terms of its roadholding and dimensions, the Borgward-Hansa 1800 diesel differs in no way from its brother "Otto". And yet, despite the same displacement of 1758 cc and the same rear axle ratio, both cars drive completely differently. The slightly higher weight, the lower but persistent, tough performance of the diesel engine, the "nagging" at idling speed and the higher purchase price, which is offset by the lower consumption of cheaper fuel, result in quite different characteristics and calculation bases, which in no way speak against the diesel engine.
