DRIVING DYNAMICS WITH TRUE ZOOM-ZOOM SPIRIT

POWER TO WORK HARD AND PLAY HARD

The Mazda BT-50 is powered by a turbo diesel engine tuned to deliver the dynamic Zoom-Zoom driving performance required of the new-generation pickup truck. Its fine blend of power, fuel efficiency, quiet operation and low emissions is also shared by the highly regarded MZ-DE 2.5 Turbo 2.5-litre diesel engine.

SURE-FOOTED HANDLING

The refined suspension system for the Mazda BT-50 adds lively handling response and sedan-like ride comfort to the inherited toughness of Mazda’s proven suspension layout.

The double wishbone front suspension adopts large-diameter shock absorbers that improve ride quality and handling stability. A new rear leaf design helps ensure precise and stable handling, while the longest leaf springs in the class deliver mild, reassuring ride comfort. Sure stopping performance is provided by ventilated front disc brakes and leading/trailing rear drum brakes tuned along with the feel of brake pedal operation to make the Mazda BT-50 an even greater pleasure to drive.

SMOOTH SHIFTING AND 4WD MOBILITY

The MZ-DE 2.5 engine is paired with a 5-speed manual transmission that features sure shifting with smooth action and a light touch. Remote electric front wheel hub locks on all 4WD models help reduce drivetrain wear and improve fuel economy. The 4WD transfer system features smart, easy shift operation and exhibits tough performance on rough, muddy or snowy surfaces.

STYLED TO TURN HEADS, BUILT TO SATISFY

STYLISH, ATHLETIC EXTERIOR

Sporty and athletic styling reflects beauty and a level of high quality that clearly identifies the Mazda BT-50 as the new-generation pickup truck built to satisfy active lifestyles. Clean, flowing body contours wrap around the relaxing expanse of the cabin to create a modern, sophisticated look that also inherits the tough expression of its Mazda pickup heritage.

Mazda’s characteristic five-point grille and a new integrated front bumper from a clean, protrusion-free front line that blends with flowing curves across the bonnet and fenders. The side presents supple lines reminiscent of a well-trained athlete, its dynamic curves accented by bold fenders and large tyres set on powerful-looking alloy wheels. A new rear combination lamp shares the clean and sporty design motif of the headlamp. Fine build quality and effective use of chrome-plated parts complete the look with an elegant air of a fine passenger car.

SUPERIOR SAFETY FOR ALL PASSENGERS

ACTIVE SAFETY HELPS AVOID HAZARDS

Large door mirrors and optimal hip-point height enhance the driver’s field of view for added safety. High-performance brakes with advanced vehicle control technologies, including optional –wheel antilock braking system (4A-ABS) with electronic bake-force distribution (EBD) and Load Sensing Proportioning Valve, provide assured braking even on slippery surfaces or under various load conditions.

PASSIVE SAFETY MEASURES PROTECT OCCUPANTS

A highly rigid overlapped and cross-braced ladder frame combines with Mazda’s unique Triple-H cabin structure and built-in door impact bars to satisfy stringent European collision-safety standards. Optional dual front airbags protect occupants in the event of a collision. Airbag-equipped models are also fitted with front seatbelt pretensioners and load limiters. The driver’s side power window features an auto-reverse safety system that prevents items from being trapped as the power window closes.

UTILITY FOR EFFICIENCY AND CONVENIENCE

CARGO-HAULING CHAMPION

As a pickup truck intended for a wide variety of applications, the Mazda BT-50 is designed to demonstrate excellent load characteristics. Its deep cargo box increases carrying efficiency, while instilling greater flexibility for application possibilities. The ribbed high-tensile steel floor and double-wall structure of the cargo box protect previous cargo. A new inner wall design features grooves that aid in freely arranging shelves and standing dividers. Loads can be firmly and promptly secured using convenient fittings that include the inner and outer rope hooks.

CONVENIENT IN-CABIN FEATURES

Storage spaces distributed throughout the cabin provide convenience for stowing and organizing small items. The floor console features a large-capacity double-decker storage box with a large armrest on the lid and two cupholders in the front. Front door pockets accommodate large road maps, and include cupholders deep enough to hold a beverage bottle. A convenient 12V accessory socket provides power to run a laptop or to recharge cell phones.
