Mazda Philippines releases the BT-50 4×2 AT Black Edition, a new, value-packed BT-50 variant that enhances the style and sophistication of Mazda’s critically-acclaimed pickup truck. Priced identically to the standard BT-50 4×2 AT variant at ₱1,430,000, it comes as a factory-installed, no-cost option for the first 50 customers.
Infused with Mazda’s KODO: Soul of Motion design, the Mazda BT-50 4×2 AT Black Edition features a suave yet sporty exterior unmatched in its segment. The distinctive Mazda face, with its three-dimensional signature wing grille, now showcases a high-gloss black finish, complemented by new 17-inch gloss black alloy wheels wrapped in 255/65 R17 highway-terrain tires.
Work and play seamlessly come together with the BT-50 4×2 AT Black Edition’s standard LED front lighting, power folding side mirrors, side step boards, and a bedliner covering its generous cargo tub, while the new tailgate assist makes the loading and unloading of cargo easier than ever.
Developed to cater to discerning customers who seek a more upscale cabin experience, the BT-50 4×2 AT Black Edition is equipped with bespoke black leather seats with gray accents and contrast stitching, and “Black Edition” logos debossed on the front headrests. A black leather-wrapped steering wheel and armrest further enhance the cabin’s overall ambiance.
Mazda’s human-centered design is also on full display with the BT-50’s tilt/telescopic steering wheel and seats constructed of low-rebound MDI polyurethane material. The special seat material equalizes the pressure points along the human spine, resulting in unmatched support even during long drives.
The BT-50 4×2 AT Black Edition puts occupant comfort first with its rear A/C vents, touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a six-speaker system, and remote engine start. For safety, it has dual SRS airbags, anti-lock brakes, electronic stability control with traction control, hill start assist, and hill descent control. For added confidence during parking, it comes equipped with a reverse parking camera with back-up sensors.
Powering the BT-50 4×2 AT Black Edition is a 3.0-liter turbo diesel four-cylinder engine generating 190 PS at 3,600 rpm and 450 Nm of torque from 1,600 rpm. Together with its 6-speed automatic and reduced body weight thanks to the use of ultra-high-strength steel, it offers responsive performance as demonstrated by its 3,500-kilogram towing capacity and 1,000-kilogram payload capacity. Water wading is at a class-leading 800-mm.
“After the launch and success of the Mazda BT-50 4×4 Pangolin Edition 2, we listened to customer feedback and decided to offer a value-oriented package for the BT-50 4×2, befitting Mazda’s premium positioning. The introduction of the Mazda BT-50 4×2 Black Edition builds on the strong foundation of our well-received pickup truck by answering the desire of pickup truck buyers who see the BT-50 as a versatile lifestyle vehicle. Above all, it further elevates our sporty style as shown by our other Black Edition models, particularly, the CX-9,” says Steven Tan, President and CEO of Mazda Philippines.
The BT-50 4×2 AT Black Edition is available in six colors: Ice White, Ingot Silver Metallic, Concrete Gray Mica, Rock Gray Mica, Red Volcano Mica, and Gun Blue Mica. Like every other brand-new Mazda, it offers a 5-year Free Service Plan which covers the expenses of periodic maintenance at either 6-month or 10,000-kilometer intervals, for up to 5 years or 100,000 kilometers, whichever comes first. This is on top of a 3-year bumper-to-bumper warranty.
