Mazda's 2025 BT-50 has received a new facelift that goes beyond minor cosmetic changes. This new version packs more than just updated looks—it comes with a splash of luxury and smarter tech, elevating its status as a refined workhorse with a hint of swagger. Let's begin with the exterior, where Mazda's Kodo "Soul of Motion" design language has made a significant impact.

Up front, those LED headlights are now sharper, flanking a larger grille that seems to puff out its chest a bit more confidently. The redesigned bumper comes with a secret weapon: an ‘air curtain’ that subtly whispers fuel efficiency improvements into the wind as you drive. Around the back, the tailgate now sports a ridged look, and the new LED taillights provide a sleek finishing touch.

Oh, and Mazda’s not shy about the branding either—those oversized logos at both ends won’t let you forget who’s boss. The color palette gets a little more exciting too, with three new shades to play with: Red Earth Metallic, Geode White Pearl, and Sailing Blue Metallic. That earthy red is exclusive to the BT-50, so you’ll definitely stand out on the job site or in the city. And let’s not forget the new alloy wheel designs, adding the final touch to the truck’s refreshed, confident stance.

Step inside, and things get a whole lot more modern. The BT-50 now boasts a 9-inch infotainment screen, and Mazda, being the thoughtful folks they are, kept the physical volume and tuning dials because let’s face it, sometimes you just want to twist a knob. The instrument cluster gets an upgrade too, growing to 7 inches, and now offering real-time data that keeps you informed of everything from tire pressure to steering angles—so whether you're conquering rugged trails or navigating city streets, you're always in the know.

For those who are tech-savvy, Android Auto now connects wirelessly, finally catching up with Apple CarPlay, and USB-C ports enable rapid charging of your devices. Mazda has also freshened up the materials used throughout the cabin, switching out brown leather for sleek black trim on certain models. For those who like to roll in style, the top-tier trims even offer terracotta Maztex leather with synthetic suede—a nod to Mazda’s attention to comfort and luxury, stitched proudly with the BT-50 logo on the headrests.

Mazda didn’t stop at aesthetics; they’ve also beefed up the BT-50’s brains. The safety features of the BT-50 have been enhanced, including stereo cameras that offer a broader field of vision and emergency braking that can now detect pedestrians and motorcyclists. There's also a Rear Cross Traffic Brake, adaptive cruise control, and lane-keeping technology that works even when lane markings aren’t visible. It’s all about making sure this truck is as smart as it is capable.

The BT-50 is not just a talker; it is equipped with two powerful engines: a 1.9-liter turbodiesel that delivers 148 hp for heavy-duty tasks, and a more powerful 3.0-liter option that delivers 187 hp for drivers seeking more power. Depending on your preference for ruggedness, you can choose between a six-speed manual or automatic transmission, as well as rear-wheel or all-wheel drive. For those down under in Australia, Mazda is also prepping a range of genuine accessories to help personalize your BT-50 and get it ready for any adventure or job.
