Grand Debut and Production Launch
The Hansa 1500 was unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show in March 1949, and just months later production began on 13 October 1949, marking Borgward’s rapid post‑war entry into the market.
A Body‑Style for Every Need
Between 1949 and 1954 the model was offered in four distinct body shapes – a 2‑door sedan, a 4‑door sedan, a convertible, and a station wagon – giving buyers a wide range of practical and stylish options.
Naming and Performance Offshoots
The Hansa 1500 served as the base for the sportier Hansa RS 1500, with the number after the model name indicating the engine’s displacement, a naming convention that highlighted its 1.5‑litre power unit.
