Infused with Mazda’s KODO: Soul of Motion design, the Mazda BT-50 4x2 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 4x2 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 4x2 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.

Powering the BT-50 4x2 AT Black Edition is a 3.0-liter turbo diesel four-cylinder engine generating 190 horsepower 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 4x4 Pangolin Edition 2, we listened to customer feedback and decided to offer a value-oriented package for the BT-50 4x2, befitting Mazda’s premium positioning. The introduction of the Mazda BT-50 4x2 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 4x2 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.

The price is inclusive of 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.
