Mazda Bt-50 2008 Model

Mazda BT-50 has been modified for year 2008: The Mazda BT-50 pick-up gets a facelift throughout the range and now with B5-compatible engine, albeit retaining the same specs. Prices up by a few thousand from outgoing version starting at B541,900 for the base RWD open-cab 144hp 2.5-litre common-rail turbo-diesel manual to B895,900 for the 4WD double-cab 156hp 3.0 five-speed auto. - What we think: As with its Ford Ranger sister, the BT-50 is best in open cab form with solid 156hp 3.0-litre engine and semi-quick shifting five-speed manual. Dated chassis with recirculating ball steering more at home off-road than on it, but H/T tyres lets it down.

Mazda's next-generation Mazda one-ton pickup, the BT-50 had made its world debut at the 2006 Bangkok International Motor Show in April and by all counts it was a great hit. The name was changed from Fighter to BT-50 to assign it one name in all markets and to bring its name in line with Mazda's global alphanumeric nomenclature strategy. This is what a Malcolm Gough, executive officer and general manager of Mazda's Overseas Sales Division had to say:
"BT-50 recognises the new range's B-Series Truck heritage (BT) and the number "50" reflects that this one-ton vehicle is optimally positioned between smaller payload trucks (e.g. half-ton) and much larger trucks.

"The Bangkok global premiere of the new Mazda BT-50 pickup range will provide existing and prospective owners with the chance to be amongst the first to see the world's "Zoom-Zoom" Truck.

We are offering a fantastic discount on this beautiful vehicle and it is moving fast especially in the Caribbean and the Southern African regions.

BT-50 Highlights

The new Mazda BT-50 with Zoom-Zoom power – fun to drive and beyond present limitations. A powerful sports pickup truck that fulfils both your work and leisure needs. A really fun-to-drive experience

The new Mazda BT-50 5-Speed Auto sport pickup combines the power of a high performance engine with the smoothness of a passenger car-like drive thanks to its 5-speed electronically controlled automatic transmission.

Thanks to this perfect match between its Power Common Rail engine delivering a class leading torque of up to 380 Nm and its 5-speed state-of-the-art electronically controlled automatic transmission, the Mazda BT-50 5 speed auto is truly the ultimate sport pickup offering both "Zoom-Zoom" driving pleasure and convenience. It should therefore appeal to both those who use a pickup truck much like a passenger car as well as those who require tough, reliable commercial truck performance but still desire the smoothness of an elaborate transmission for a more enjoyable driving experience.

On par with its advanced automatic transmission and car-like ride characteristics, the refinement of the cabin interior with its sporty design console, 6 CDs-MP3 player, double airbags and side airbags is almost enough to make you forget that the Mazda BT-50 is a pickup truck.

 

 

Superior Transmission System for perfect transmission and fuel economy For the first time in Thailand a 5 -speed automatic transmission has been made available in the pickup truck segment. In line with Mazda's  Zoom-Zoom concept, this bold move reflects Mazda’s commitment to bring to the public vehicle which can provide a truly exciting driving experience on every model of the range.

This electronically controlled close-ratio 5 speed automatic transmission features smooth shifting and outstanding fuel economy at highway speed.

The Mazda BT-50 5 speed auto is available in a 2.5L Double Cab 2 WD version and a 3.0L. Double Cab 4 WD version equipped with the electric shift "on-the fly" system enabling transition between 2 WD mode and 4 WD mode at high driving speeds of up to 100 km/h to maximize driving pleasure and convenience..

 

 

Powerful Engine with latest technology

Mazda BT-50, the new powerful pickup truck with a Double Overhead Camshaft 16-valve Power Common-Rail Direct-Injection Diesel Engine. Equipped with a Variable Geometry Turbocharger with Intercooler and 32-bit intelligent computerised system, it turns out high driving power while being economical on fuel.

Drive-Balanced Power

The Mazda BT-50 offers you good balance. It makes driving fun and yet it can handle a tough workload.

First in Thailand’s pickup industry, the BT-50 comes with side airbags for added security. The Mazda BT-50 – good for both tough work and pleasure.
