Mazda BT-50 GT 4WD Pickup driven for 2026

What is the Mazda BT-50 GT Like

BT-50 GT – I recently drove the Mazda BT-50 GT Dual Cab 4WD  Ute.  This is close to the top spec model. Being a fan of the styling of the BT-50, I also had many comments from people walking past where it was parked. Most liked it. It has an inoffensive design that seems to flow.

Surprisingly it also has wired smart phone mirroring.

The GT model comes with a few luxuries like

  • Black leather seats,
  • Front seats are heated
  • Front parking sensor
  • 8 way electrically adjustable driver’s seat with additional lumbar support
  • Heated external mirrors for those cold or icy days and
  • Remote engine start

Performance comes from a 3.0L turbo diesel engine with 140 kW of power and 450 Nm of torque available from 1600 rpm. This drives through a selectable 4WD system and a 6 Sp AT.

Towing capacity is 3500 kg and it’s a popular choice for that.

With prodigious 4WD capability, the BT-50 GT is equally at home around the suburbs, forest trails, on the beach and outback touring.

The Mazda BT-50 GT is one of those Utes you jump I  and immediately feel at home in. Its comfortable capable and easy to live with

With pricing deals from $66,990 driveaway it’s not bad value as well.
