Mazda Australia has expanded the local BT-50 range with the launch of the new LE grade. The 2023 Mazda BT-50 LE comes equipped with a host of distinctive features, the most notable being the integration of a polished bull bar that was locally engineered and designed not to hinder the crumple zones, airbag, and various safety assistance systems. The high-end variant of the popular pickup truck also includes a stainless steel polished sports bar with an integrated brake light.

A plethora of other features come standard on the BT-50 LE. These include dual-zone climate control, satellite navigation, advanced keyless entry, reverse camera, and both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility.

 

All Mazda BT-50 LE models sold in Australia come exclusively in Dual-Cab Pickup 4×4 guise and are outfitted with a 3.0-liter turbocharged diesel four-cylinder. This engine is good for 188 hp and 450 Nm of torque and is coupled to a six-speed automatic transmission and a four-wheel drive system with low range. Ingot Silver Metallic is the only paint option available.

Local pricing for the Mazda BT-50 LE kicks off at AU$ 64,295 (US$ 43,542) before on-road costs.
