    The refreshed Mazda BT-50 benefits from a sleek black grille replacing the chrome-plated one across all trim levels. A revamped front bumper further adds a touch of modernity to the vehicle's aesthetics; it comes paired with a more prominent skid plate on higher-spec variants.

    For enthusiasts seeking a bolder look, Mazda has a special "Black Thunder" package that makes the pickup look tougher and more aggressive. The said package adds several gloss black elements, including a front skid plate, a sports bar, and fender extensions. Even the striking 18-inch alloy wheels, wheel arch trims, door handles, and mirror caps get the same slick treatment.

    Inside the cabin, the BT-50 comes with the same 9.0-inch infotainment unit, with base models featuring a 7.0-inch screen. However, a significant upgrade comes in the form of wireless connectivity for both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, enabling seamless integration of smartphones for navigation, music, and communication needs.

    The higher-spec models of the new Mazda BT-50 boast premium brown and black leather upholstery along with an immersive 8-speaker audio system. As for safety, it comes equipped with active gears like adaptive cruise control with stop & go, advanced blind spot monitoring, autonomous emergency braking, rear cross-traffic alert, forward collision warning, lane departure warning, and auto high beam.

    In terms of mechanical setup, the Thai-spec BT-50 retains the same options. These include - a 1.9-litre Bluepower turbo-diesel engine tuned to generate a maximum power of 150 PS and a peak torque of 350 Nm and a mighty 3.0-litre turbo diesel mill that churns out 190 PS and 450 Nm. The power is sent to the wheels via a six-speed manual or a six-speed automatic gearbox depending on the variant picked.

    The 3.0-litre engine is now available in both 2WD and 4WD variants, with the top-spec Double Cab being the only model equipped with 4WD. The 4WD variant also features Rough Terrain Mode and a rear electronic diff-lock system for improved off-road performance.

    The all-new 2024 Mazda BT-50 is offered in six variants in the Land of Smiles at a price ranging between THB 752,000 (RM 98k), and THB 1,272,000 (RM 165k).
