Mazda Australia has provided details for its latest Mazda BT-50 ute. In a major change of direction the new BT-50 has been developed in partnership with Isuzu – the outgoing model was done in partnership with Ford.
Using the Mazda Kodo design BT-50 has sweeping crease lines running from the front grille to the mirrors then onto an unbroken centre line that flows from front to rear.
Inside, Mazda BT-50 has supportive seats in a wide cabin with a large touchscreen infotainment system with functionality including wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
Power comes from a 3.0-litre turbo-diesel engine with 140kW of power and 450Nm torque.
It has a 3500kg towing capacity and over 1000kg payload.
Standard safety features are auto emergency braking, lane keep assist, blind spot monitoring and rear cross traffic alert.
Mazda Australia Managing Director Vinesh Bhindi said Brand-new BT-50 sets a new benchmark in the segment.
“Brand-New Mazda BT-50 will bring unrivalled design, comfort and capability to the popular ute segment, raising the bar for what these customers can expect from their ute,” said Mr. Bhindi.
