Mazda BT-50 The Mazda BT-50 (model code J97M) is a compact/mid-size pickup truck produced by the Japanese manufacturer Mazda since 2006. The BT-50 was launched at the Bangkok Motor Show on March 22, 2006. It shares its Duratorq/MZR-CD 2.5 L and 3.0 L Diesel straight-4 engines with the Ranger. In late November 2006, the new 5-speed automatic transmission with BorgWarner transfer case has been added, as well as side airbags. A full model change of Mazda BT-50 was revealed on October 2010 at the Australian International Motor Show.
In Australia’s lucrative dual-cab ute market the battle for sales supremacy has essentially become a two-horse race between Toyota HiLux and Ford Ranger, which have monopolised their own sizeable chunks of the private, mining and fleet markets. In terms of sales volumes, having found favour with many private buyers, is generally around fourth or fifth overall. That position is not, however, a true reflection of the BT-50’s quality because it is a damn good – it’s almost up there with the best of them, in fact. The next-generation BT-50, due here in 2019, may just push the model into the upper echelon but, in the meantime, is the current XTR worth your consideration?
All controls are easy to locate and use, and the new allows for quick operation in all conditions; we had no strife with it and found it simple to use during testing. There are other daily driving friendly necessities, such as a USB port up front and three 12V power outlets throughout the cabin.
The driver gets steering-wheel-mounted everything and the seat is manually adjustable for pretty much all directions. The XTR is the second-top spec in this range but the fact its seats are cloth trim and its flooring is carpet actually work in its favour because hard-wearing fabrics and an interior well suited to a rough-and-ready lifestyle simply add to its appealing all-round. The tray is 1549mm long, 1560mm wide (both measurements across the floor), 1139mm between the wheel arches, and 513mm deep. Loading height (from tray floor to the ground is 841mm. The tray has six solid tie-down points. The XTR has a of 3500kg (braked) and 750kg unbraked; a maximum tow-ball download of 350kg, a payload of 1082kg, a of 3200kg and a gross combined mass of 6000kg.
Does it represent good value for the price? What features does it come with? There are four variants in the range: XT cab chassis, XT, XTR and GT. Our tester was a XTR 4x4; a XTR is also available. Our vehicle was $53,573.42; MLP was $52,490 and accessories included carpet floor mats ($126.44), and the tow-bar kit ($956.98).
While the XTR comes with a new eight-inch Alpine colour touchscreen, there is no Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. Standard features on the XTR include an (the new Alpine ), a six-speaker stereo system, dual-zone climate control, leather steering wheel and gear shift knob and handbrake, second-row seats with fold-down, two-cup-holder armrest, one USB port up front and three 12V power outlets throughout the cabin, and. What are the key stats for the engine and transmission? The has the well proven 3.2-litre - engine, producing 147kW at 3000rpm and between 1750 and 2500rpm, and a. This combination works supremely well. How much fuel does it consume?

The big has a of 10.0L/100km (combined). Over 200km of mixed driving – a lot of it bitumen, with about 30km of dirt roads and 10km of thrown in – it returned a figure of 12.2L/100km for us. It has an 80-litre fuel tank. What's it like to drive? It’s bloody great fun. Climb in on the side-steps (standard), use a passenger-assist grip if you have to, and get ready to go, because punching this boofy workhorse along highways and can be as rambunctious an experience as you want it to be.
The BT-50 has a showroom, but throw on a few genuine accessories (such as a black steel bull bar and more) and that weight will drift ever upwards. It’s no sports car, but the Mazda makes for an all-round enjoyable driving experience.
It is 5365mm long (with a 3220mm wheelbase), 1815mm high and 1850mm wide with a 12.4m turning circle. It’s not school-bus size by any means, but is still a big unit to manoeuvre and park in the real world for a driver unaccustomed to a ute’s bulk. The 3.2-litre - is a willing engine that's eager to be pushed, and not so happy to be pent up in the city.
At low speeds in banked-up traffic the BT-50’s tends to hold onto lower gears for longer than necessary and it’s sometimes a jarring change-up when it finally submits to acceleration, which is one of the clear indications that this has not been. Get it out on the open highway and you can ‘let the mongrel off the leash’, as the bush saying goes. Sure, it’s but this combination of gutsy engine, smooth auto box (best at higher speeds), fine steering (not as laser-focused as the, though), and assured on-road stance, make for an all-round enjoyable driving experience. The BT-50 has the well proven 3.2-litre turbo-diesel engine and a six-speed automatic transmission. The BT-50 exhibits the usual ride expected of a ute that is stiffer at the to cope with industrial-sized loads. With no load, the rear did tend to bounce and skitter around, especially in the wet, which is no surprise in a ute.

Fortunately, it's all kept under adequate control by the BT-50's. This XTR was on Dunlop Grandtrek AT22s and had a full-sized spare under the tray.

We did several emergency-braking scenarios – on bitumen and gravel – and the pulled up nicely thanks to its onboard and 302mm discs at the front, plus 270mm drum brakes at the rear. In the bush, the has no worries whatsoever. Switching from is easy, using the three-mode dial near the auto shifter. This XTR rode on 17-inch Dunlop Grandtrek AT22s. The XTR has 232mm ground clearance (unladen; 200mm with a load) and 28.2° approach angle, 26.4° (departure) and 25.0° (ramp break-over). We never grounded on anything. and drove up steep dirt hills, down loose gravel slopes and through deep ruts without any hassle.
(.The XTR has decent underbody protection as standard, so even if you do thump into something your mechanicals are tucked up out of harm’s way and have a solid metal bodyguard to protect them.) We tested about 500mm of the XTR’s claimed 800mm wading depth through sloppy mud holes and a few creek crossings. Once again, no worries there. What safety equipment is fitted? What safety rating? ANCAP safety rating. The has a, as a result of testing done in 2011. It has six airbags and two.
The XTR spec gets all the usual passive and active you’d expect in something that costs north of $50,000, as well as hill-descent control and hill-launch assist, trailer-sway control and a locking rear diff. So, all in all, a pretty sound armoury of safety gear, although our XTR tester does lose valuable points for not having front and rear parking sensors as standard. The sensors are, however, available as an $899.85 option, but only on XTR and GT models. What does it cost to own? What warranty is offered?
