The testers described the modern structure of the car in some detail: they particularly liked the wide cabin with its large windows, and they commended the effectiveness of the brakes. A road test at launch reported a maximum speed of 130 km/h (81 mph) and fuel consumption of 8.4 L/100 km. In view of the car's spacious cabin and impressive performance, the pricing was perceived as competitive. The advertised launch price of DM 7,265 was higher than that of competitor family sedans from Opel and Ford, but significantly less than Mercedes-Benz was asking for their 180 model. The early cars enjoyed an enthusiastic reception in the market place, but were afflicted by teething troubles that reflected a rushed development schedule. The larger car never found many buyers but in 1954, it made commercial sense to keep the two models from competing too directly with each other.ġ1,150 Isabellas were produced in 1954, an early indicator that commercially this would be the most successful Borgward ever. Late in 1952, the firm had launched their six-cylinder Hansa 2400 model. ĭespite its aspirational positioning in the marketplace, the Isabella had a smaller engine (and was marginally shorter) than its immediate predecessor, the Borgward Hansa. Hansa badging was also used through to 1957. The production car was subsequently renamed and only the first few hundred examples were built without Isabella badging. The Isabella was to have been marketed as the Borgward Hansa 1500 but the Isabella name was used on test vehicles and proved popular with engineering staff and media.
