Mazda BT-50

The multi-talented Mazda BT-50 is made for long working days and off-road adventures. It's a versatile pick-up that takes rocky roads and heavy loads in its stride.

Rugged workhorse or weekend warrior? You decide. The Mazda BT-50 is built to handle all kinds of cargo and is more than tough enough to withstand harsh terrain.

If you're looking for the athletic alternative to an SUV, this is it. With an MP3-compatible audio system included as standard and air conditioning on all 4x4 models, the Mazda BT-50 won't be outclassed for comfort. And with an Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) and Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) fitted to all models, you can be just as safe too. In fact, your safety is so important that side airbags are standard on all Double Cab models.

Its car-like handling means it's incredibly easy to drive, even when you leave the road behind. There's a choice of common-rail turbo diesel engines which combine powerful acceleration with impressive levels of torque to help haul heavy cargo. In addition, the Mazda BT-50 has a class-leading towing capacity of up to 3,000kg.

For company car drivers, being a pick-up with a payload in excess of a tonne means the Mazda BT-50 is classified as a commercial vehicle, making it surprisingly tax-efficient. It might be a hard-working, load-lugging 4x4 at heart, but the Mazda BT-50 is so much more than just a pick-up.
