2025 Mazda BT-50 to get major update: New-look ute to premiere this week

Mazda has released a teaser image of its new-look BT-50, ahead of the vehicle's global reveal later this week.

Limited information regarding the updated model has been released to date by Mazda, but the brand revealed in a statement that the refreshed ute will benefit from, “a major new update for 2025, ushering in a comprehensive redesign inside and out, as well as significant enhancements to the Human Machine Interface (HMI), associated safety and assistance systems and additional functionality”.

The teaser image reveals revised headlights and prominent Mazda badge in the middle of the grille.

As a twin of the Isuzu D-MAX, the new BT-50 is expected to gain the same interior spec as found in the Isuzu, including the new nine-inch infotainment screen and a more comprehensive seven-inch multi-information gauge display as found in high-spec models.

It’s also likely to carry across the D-MAX’s suite of safety features including less intrusive driver aids and a new forward-facing 3D stereo camera. The full range of ADAS and safety features across the D-MAX range now includes 👇

The exisiting 110kW/350Nm 1.9-litre and 140kW/450Nm 3.0-litre powertrain options are expected to be carried over.

Mazda last updated its BT-50 line-up in May this year, adding a Rough Terrain Mode for all 4x4 models and debuting a new dual-cab chassis GT variant. A new, premium infotainment upgrade accessory package was then added to suit all models except lower-spec XS and XT variants.

The world premiere for the 2025 Mazda BT-50 will take place on October 18 at 11am (AEDT).
