Mazda has updated its 2024 BT-50 line-up by introducing a raft of features – including the addition of a Rough Terrain Mode for all 4x4 models – and debuting a new dual-cab chassis GT variant.
The GT model, previously only available in dual-cab pick-up guise, will now be available with a dual-cab chassis layout for the first time. Sitting above the XTR in the model hierarchy, the GT is a more premium offering. It utilises the LED headlamps, dual-zone climate control, nine-inch touchscreen and leather-bound steering wheel and gear knob as found in the XTR, but it adds a remote start function (operable via the key fob), chrome-finished heated exterior mirrors, heated front seats and brown leather seat trim.
“Our comprehensively specified GT model grade brings with it a number of welcome extras that provide added comfort and refinement for the driver and occupants, while the ‘blank canvas’ of the cab-chassis opens up endless options for customisation at the rear,” said Vinesh Bhindi, Managing Director of Mazda Australia. “Putting the two together gives our customers yet another opportunity to fulfil their favourite pursuits.”
The addition of a Rough Terrain Mode on all 4x4 models headlines the changes across the line-up. The mode, activated by pressing a separate button located next to the gear shifter, modulates throttle and brake inputs and intervenes before wheel spin can occur, to instantly transfer torque to the wheels with most traction. It’s a great tool to optimise traction control when off-road.
Another change for XTR models and above is the ability for accessories to remain powered after the engine has been shut-off; while lower-spec XS and XT variants have gained auto relock functionality, which is already standard on XTR models and above.
Pricing remains unchanged across the board, with only the BT-50 SP increasing by a lowly $30. The updated 2024 range is available to order now, backed by a five-year, unlimited-kilometre warranty.
