Mazda has updated its BT-50 range for 2026, adding two new grades and some upgrades aimed at off-road use.

At the top of the line-up, the BT-50 Thunder returns with the 3.0L four-cylinder diesel and 4×4 drivetrain. Based on the GT pickup, it adds a single hoop bull bar with Lightforce Beast driving lights, reinforced anti-slip side steps, a steel sports bar and manual roller tonneau cover. Gloss black door handles and a unique Thunder decal set finish the look.

The new BT-50 Boss is also powered by the 3.0L engine 4×4 drivetrain. It builds on the XT grade, with gloss black door and tailgate handles, black exterior mirrors, a black steel sports bar, tub liner and side steps. XTR, GT, and SP pickup variants now get a 360-degree camera, making tight spots and tricky off-road sections easier to manage.

“The BT-50 plays an integral role in the comprehensive offerings of Mazda Australia, and these two exciting new model grades give customers even more choice and options to suit their lifestyle – whether they’re looking for a ute to jostle around the jobsite or hauling a caravan and all the associated gear across the country,’ said Jarrod Gieschen, Mazda Australia Marketing and Sales Director.

The updated BT-50 is available in showrooms now.
