The Mazda BT-50 is Mazda's entry to the light commercial vehicle category and is most commonly found in dual-cab ute guise.
After discontinuing the Mazda Bravo ute in the mid-2000s, work began on the Mazda BT-50 successor which was designed in collaboration with Ford Australia. Mazda's current BT-50 is now a close relative of Isuzu, with both manufacturers sharing parts and technology in their respective ute products.
Mazda BT-50 dual-cab ute pricing begins in the mid-$40,000 range and extends to almost $60,000 for higher-spec variants. Model variant names include the XT, XTR, and GT versions.
The Mazda BT-50 is sold with manual or automatic transmissions, in both 4x2 and 4x4 drivetrain configuration and you can specify the Mazda BT-50 with either a cab chassis or pick-up tray at the rear.
All Mazda BT-50s are powered by an Isuzu-sourced 3.0-litre turbo diesel powertrain.
Light commercial vehicles are very popular in Australia, and the Mazda BT-50 has a number of rivals including the Toyota Hilux, Ford Ranger, Isuzu D-Max, Nissan Navara and Mitsubishi Triton.
