Mazda BT50 UN

2006 – 2011

The Mazda BT-50 is a compact/mid-size pickup truck that has been in production since 2006 by Japanese manufacturer Mazda. It is essentially a larger iteration of its predecessor, the B-Series pickup. Interestingly, the BT-50 is not available for purchase in both the Japanese and North American markets. Instead, a Mazda derivative of the second-generation Ranger, designed by Ford Australia, is sold as the BT-50. The first generation of the Mazda BT-50, known as the UN model, was officially introduced to the public at the Bangkok International Motor Show on 22 March 2006. The initial launch marked the beginning of this pickup truck's journey into the automotive market. In 2020, Mazda unveiled the third generation of the BT-50. This latest iteration of the BT-50 is based on the Isuzu D-Max platform, indicating a departure from its previous design roots. This change showcases Mazda's effort to continue evolving and adapting its vehicles to align with industry trends and consumer preferences. Key points: 1.
