Mazda BT-50
The Mazda BT-50 ute has a long history. Mazda has been selling utes in Australia since 1964 with the release of the B Series light truck, later going on to sell 4x4 versions known as the B2600 and Mazda Bravo before creating the BT-50 badge.
The previous-generation Mazda BT-50 was in production for close to a decade, and was developed in partnership with Ford, meaning the new-generation BT-50 is very much all new.

About the Mazda BT-50
The Mazda BT-50 ute has a long history. Mazda has been selling utes in Australia since 1964 with the release of the B Series light truck, later going on to sell 4x4 versions known as the B2600 and Mazda Bravo before creating the BT-50 badge.
The previous-generation Mazda BT-50 was in production for close to a decade, and was developed in partnership with Ford, meaning the new-generation BT-50 is very much all new.
Launched in 2020, the current Mazda BT-50 was co-developed in partnership with Isuzu and shares underpinnings and engines with the D-Max ute.
Unlike the Isuzu 4x4 offering, though, there are two engines across the BT-50 4x4 line-up. The well-known 3.0L turbo diesel produces 140kW and 450Nm, while a 1.9L turbo diesel producing 110kW and 350Nm.
Key competitors in the BT-50 class include the Ford Ranger, Isuzu D-Max, Mitsubishi Triton, Nissan Navara, Toyota HiLux, and Volkswagen Amarok.
