It may be far from the last word in the Malaysian market, but the 2022 Mazda BT-50 brings a unique package to the pick-up truck world. Perhaps it's the only one in its class that dares to mix the hardy character of an Isuzu, with the soft charms Mazda's perfected over the years. Which actually wouldn't be entirely inaccurate. It is a rebadged Isuzu D-Max, and long-time readers of this site wil recall that we like that a lot. Good point to start off from then, but objectivity is a thing, so we'll

Several dealers across Malaysia have opened bookings for the all-new 2022 Mazda BT-50. It seems that two variants will be offered, and prices start from RM 124,179 for the purported 1.9-litre High Double Cab variant, and RM 143,218 for the 3.0-litre High Plus Double Cab.

For a very long time, the pick-up truck market has been dominated by the Toyota Hilux and it’s no wonder. As Top Gear once proved, the mighty Hilux is very much invincible. However, while the Hilux has been the default pick-up of choice (no doubt the same could be said about the updated facelift model), that doesn’t mean its competitors have backed down. Next year, there will be three new pick-up trucks to try and reduce the Hilux’s share in the market. Okay, it’s technically one brand-new truck

In an interview with BFM radio a couple of months ago, the CEO of Bermaz Auto, Dato’ Francis Lee has confirmed that Bermaz is looking to introduce the all-new 2021 Mazda BT-50 some time in the first quarter of 2021. 1. So what’s new about this Mazda BT-50? Barring the familiar nameplate, the rest of the Mazda BT-50 is completely new. While the previous-generation model shared its platform with the Ford Ranger, the all-new model is based on the equally-new Isuzu D-Max. 2. Where is it built? The o

Mazda recently introduced the all-new 2020 Mazda BT-50 to the world. As you know, the new BT-50 is now based on the reputable 2020 Isuzu D-Max, just like how the out-going truck was based on the Ford Ranger. Off the bat, it isn’t easy to spot the difference in terms of design between the two trucks. Only when one looked closer do you see the differences. The largest difference is, of course, the front-end of the truck. Instead of the Isuzu D-Max’s rugged new grille and DRLs that gives the car a
