2022 Mazda BT-50

Built for Sunshine Coast tradies, rural buyers and adventurous families who need serious towing ability, genuine 4x4 capability and the everyday usefulness of a Dual Cab with a practical tray setup.

Under the bonnet is Mazda's proven 3.0L four-cylinder turbo-diesel producing 140kW and a muscular 450Nm, with peak torque available from just 1,600rpm. Matched to a smooth 6-speed automatic, it delivers the low-down grunt you want when carrying equipment, climbing hills or getting a loaded trailer moving.

Whether it's a work trailer through Maroochydore during the week, a caravan headed north for the holidays or the boat bound for the coast, the BT-50 is ready to pull its weight with up to 3,500kg braked towing capacity. Trailer Sway Control adds extra reassurance when you're hauling something substantial behind you.

This isn't just a tough-looking ute. The BT-50 4x4 gives you selectable high-range and low-range four-wheel drive, along with a switchable locking rear differential to help find traction when conditions get loose, muddy or steep. It's a great setup for worksites, rural properties, camping trips and exploring beyond the Sunshine Coast's sealed roads.

Bring the crew and the gear. The five-seat Dual Cab gives you useful passenger space while the fitted rear tray provides the versatility tradies and active individuals love, ideal for toolboxes, building supplies, camping equipment, bikes and bulky loads that simply don't belong inside a conventional wagon. It's a genuine work-and-weekend combination.

The XT comes well equipped with a 7-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay, USB-connected Android Auto, Bluetooth, DAB+ digital radio, LED headlights and a reversing camera. Automatic models also feature Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop & Go, while safety technology includes Autonomous Emergency Braking, Blind Spot Monitoring, Lane Departure Warning, Lane Keep Assist and multiple airbags, backed by a 5-star ANCAP safety rating.
