There is even more novelty on the inside than on the outside new Mazda BT-50, which got better materials, a new steering wheel and a large infotainment screen that also supports Apple CarPlay in Android Auto. Mazda has joined forces with Isuzu this time, which of course means that the new BT-50 shares the basis with the model D-Max and no longer with the Ford Ranger, but is powered by a three-liter turbodiesel with a maximum power of 114 kW 190 hp) and 450 Nm of torque.

The new BT-50 is based on the same basis as the Isuzu D-Max.

This is also why it should not be difficult for a novice to tow a trailer with a maximum weight of 3.500 kilograms and a load of 1.000 kilograms. Mazda has dedicated quite a number of assistance systems to its working animal, such as Adaptive Cruise Control, Auto Emergency Braking, Lane Keep Assist, Blind Spot Monitoring in Rear Cross Traffic Alert.

Start selling a new one Mazda pick-up is forecast for the second half of this year.
