New LE spec offered for Mazda BT-50

Mazda is offering a new specification for the Mazda BT-50 range.

Based on the ever-popular XTR model grade, the Mazda BT-50 LE promises to offer enhanced looks, greater functionality and added customer value in the form of a single hooped polished alloy bullbar, polished sports bar and the heavy-duty tub liner, which offers ultimate protection against dents and scratches.

Available in Mazda showrooms nationwide from February, the Mazda BT-50 LE is locally engineered for the Australian market with intensive R&D and real-world testing.

Manufactured from high-quality stainless steel and featuring an integrated brake light, the polished sports bar helps to complete what Mazda calls a “tough yet elegant exterior”.

Dual-zone climate control, satellite navigation, advanced keyless entry, reverse camera and Apple CarPlay/Android Auto compatibility are all standard.

All versions of the Mazda BT-50 LE will be offered as a Dual-Cab Pickup 4×4 with a 3.0L turbo-diesel engine paired to a 6-speed automatic transmission, finished in an Ingot Silver Metallic paint hue.

Priced from $64,295 before on-roads, the Mazda BT-50 LE represents a $2,500 saving for customers overall compared to specifying the same accessories separately.

“One of the many strings to the Mazda BT-50’s bow is the sheer breadth of customisation options available through the Mazda Genuine Accessories program, all of which come with a five-year warranty when fitted at delivery,” said Vinesh Bhindi,Mazda Australia Managing Director. “With the new Mazda BT-50 LE, we’re offering the best of both worlds – an enhanced and individual look, combined with even more added versatility.”
