Mazda BT-50 GT – Mazda updated its popular BT-50 range in early 2025. I drove the BT-50 GT last week.
Features specific top the GT model include
- Heated exterior mirrors
- Black leather seats
- Electric driver’s seat with eight-way power adjustment
- Heated front seats
- Remote engine start
- Front parking sensors
These features make the GT model a lot more comfortable for an urban daily driver. I especially appreciated the heated seats in the cold and wet weather we had for the week.
Other features for the update include:
- A revised and larger central screen
- Revised layout for the drivers multi information display
- Easy down tailgate, which is welcome and
- New front end with LED lights.
The Mazda comes with the proven 3.0L 4-cylinder turbo diesel engine with 140 kW of power and 450Nm of torque. This is matched to an Aisin six speed AT and selectable 4WD system. It is also Rated to tow 3500kg.
The Mazda BT-50 GT is smooth riding on road. The suspension seems to soak up many of the daily bumps and it’s a comfortable place to sit.
There are two isofix and top tether points for baby seats but the rear room is tight like most Utes
Off road it remains very capable. Forest trails and dirt roads are a breeze, sand driving is easy and when it gets really rough the BT0-50 shines.
Priced from $66,170 plus the usual costs it also represents good value.
