The new SP joins other recent SP-badged variants in other model lines, and for the BT-50 it brings in the usual darkened theme. This is the first SP version of the BT-50, standing out with a black grille, side mirrors, and door handles, and a set of satin black 18-inch alloy wheels (shown above).

Buyers are offered the SP in 4×4 dual-cab pickup form only, with either a six-speed manual or automatic. Power comes from the Isuzu 3.0-litre turbo-diesel four-cylinder, developing 140kW and 450Nm. The BT-50 SP also comes with ‘Driftwood’ leather and black suede interior trimmings, and gloss black wheel arch extensions.

At the entry end of the range is the new XS variant. Power comes from a new-to-Mazda 1.9-litre turbo-diesel four-cylinder engine, producing 110kW and 350Nm. With a towing capacity of up to 3000kg, steel wheels, and available in 4×2 single-cab, dual-cab, and 4×4 dual-cab, this variant is prepared for work (XT shown below).

Other popular variants continue, including the best-seller XTR and GT, while the BT-50 Thunder edition sits at the top of the range. The Thunder features a number of hardcore accessories, such as an LED light bar, bull bar, sports bar, and an electronic tonneau cover. Speaking about the model update, Mazda Australia managing director, Vinesh Bhindi, said:

“The new Mazda BT-50 SP model brings a strong, sporty aesthetic with impressive equipment levels, while the new 1.9-litre turbo-diesel drivetrain delivers a highly capable entry point into the BT-50 model range. Brand-new Mazda BT-50 has performed strongly in 2021, with July recording the second-highest sales month in the nameplate’s history.”
