The Mazda BT-50 was for many years a re-skinned Ford Ranger. This never really led to the sales success Mazda was hoping for, at least in the South African market. And so Mazda filed for divorce and went searching for a new partner.
They found it in Japan, in the form of Isuzu, and so the latest BT-50 is entirely based on the latest Isuzu D-Max.
But with particularly elegant styling and a fully revised interior, is the all-new BT-50 worthy of your consideration in such a fiercely competitive market?
In this detailed look at the Mazda BT-50, our video guy Ciro De Siena takes you on a tour of the interior, 4×4 capability and features, average fuel economy, payload capacity and tow rating and much more and the one aspect of the car which might be a deal-breaker.
