A raft of enhancements have broadened the Mazda BT-50’s appeal as a go-anywhere tourer or 4WD track companion.
Fitted on all 4x4 model grades, the addition of a Rough Terrain Mode optimises the Mazda BT-50’s traction control when off-roading, for greater management and precision in difficult conditions.
Engaged via a separate button located next to the gear shifter, Rough Terrain Mode will modulate throttle and brake inputs instantaneously when it senses the ute coming off idle, therefore intervening before wheel spin can occur to transfer torque to the wheels with most traction without any delay.
The new mode works in harmony with the locking rear differential and Hill Descent Control fitted as standard to all four-wheel drive variants, ensuring exceptional traction and dependability on even the harshest tracks.
The ever-practical Dual Cab Chassis layout can now also be ordered in GT specification for the first time on a Mazda BT-50.
Building on the already ample XTR model grade with its LED headlamps, dual-zone climate control, 9-inch touchscreen and leather-bound steering wheel and gear knob, the GT gains chrome-finished heated exterior mirrors, heated front seats and brown leather seat trim.
Rounding out the GT specification is a remote start function, operable via the key fob.
