Mazda BT-50Nov 2011

Mazda BT-50

An all-new version of Mazda’s workhorse, the BT-50 utility, landed in Australia in November 2011 to do battle in one of the most competitive segments on the market.The completely re-skinned BT-50 was a joint development between Mazda and Ford Australia as a part of their Ranger project, however Mazda had significant input, from developing the rolling chassis of the vehicle, to placing more than 50 engineers at Ford’s Campbellfield headquarters.Mazda designed the exterior of the BT-50 in Japan to differentiate it from the Ranger.A number of variants were available in the BT-50 range across three body styles – single cab, Freestyle Cab (Crew Cab) and Dual Cab. Buyers had the choice of 4x2 or 4x4 with each of the body styles.The BT-50 was a diesel-only proposition when it launched with the single cab variant available with a 2.2-litre four-cylinder turbo diesel engine capable of 110kW of power. The four-cylinder BT-50 came with a six-speed manual transmission only and had claimed fuel consumption figures of 7.6L/100km.Freestyle Cab and Dual Cab variants were available with a 3.2-litre inline five-cylinder turbo-diesel engine with an output of 147kW of power and a choice of either a six-speed manual or six-speed automatic transmission.Fuel consumption for the five-cylinder is 8.4L/100km fir the manual and 9.2L/100km for the auto.The BT-50 came with a towing capacity of 3350kg and payload of up to 1271kg.The Japanese car-maker made safety a major selling point by fitting the BT-50 with standard driver and passenger front and curtain airbags to all models and seat-mounted side airbags standard on all models except the Single Cab.The BT-50 also came standard with electronic stability control (ESC), traction control, trailer sway control and ABS brakes with electronic brake-force distribution.Three trim levels were available for the BT-50, including the XT, XTR and range-topping GT.All models came with Bluetooth phone connectivity with voice control, iPod-connectivity and a 3.5-inch monochrome centre screen for the entry-level model, while other BT-50s gain an LCD display with satellite-navigation.Cruise control, air-conditioning and electric windows were also standard across all models.

Search will attempt to find all articles within the system that contain any or all words you are looking for.

You can include words like "and" + "or" for boolean style searching. Some search examples as follows:

  • "Ford v8" - Results will contain the text as it appears in the search "Ford v8".
  • "Ford and v8" - Results will have both "Ford" and "v8" within its contents but may not be sequential as per previous example.
  • "Ford or Holden and v8" - Results found will contain "v8" and also contain either "Ford" or "Holden".

You may also use wildcards represented by an asterisks. For example:

  • "Turbo*" - will find all documents that contain words like "Turbocharged", "Turbo-Diesel".
  • "Ford and v*" - Results will have both "Ford" and any word that has "V", so you may find documents about Volvo that mention Ford.

Please note: Due to the number of articles, searches may take a few moments to respond.
