Nearly a month since dealers started accepting bookings, Bermaz Motor has launched the the all-new 2022 Mazda BT-50 in Malaysia.

For the Malaysia market, two variants are made available at launch - 1.9-litre High Double Cab and 3.0 High Plus Double Cab, priced at RM 124,179 and RM 143,218, respectively. Both variants are fully-imported (CBU) from Thailand.
Sales and service tax (SST) discounted prices do not apply for the BT-50, as it is only applicable for passenger cars. Commercial vehicles like pick-up trucks don't qualify for the exemption and prices will remain after June 2022.
Now, variant-to-variant, the Mazda BT-50 is actually pricier than its sibling model, the equally-new Isuzu D-Max (RM 121,549 to RM 141,938). We’ll get into the comparison at a later time.
Powertrain-wise, the all-new 2022 Mazda BT-50 shares both its turbodiesel engine and transmission with the aforementioned Isuzu. The first is a turbodiesel 1.9-litre that does 150 PS and 350 Nm, while the larger 3.0-litre unit is capable of delivering 190 PS and 450 Nm. And yes, power figures are identical to the Isuzu D-Max.
