BT-50 is the newly-released latest version of Mazda’s B-series line. It is mechanically like the recently launched Ford Ranger and Mazda targets the leisurely market for ther BT-50. Because the Japanese manufacturers has their Zoom-Zoom philosophy, the BT-50 has an advanced drivetrain partnered with class leading safety components as its features.
This new2 model line-up has clearly showed the lifestyle orientated marketing strategy.
The double cab versiuons now have a traffic-trundle friendly 3-liter turbo diesel automaticd and the version of the single cabs are not available in 4x4 anymore. This shows clearly that the focus of BT-50 is now something more urbane than the traditional commercial bakkie applications.
It has 380Nm of torque and a very handy 5-speed transmission, and a smooth and positive shift action, which makes the Mazda BT-50 Bakkie easy to drive and control.
