Mazda Philippines launches the new 2025 BT-50, a pickup truck that goes beyond the specs, to deliver performance and technology that enables you to live your life’s passion, whatever it may be. Significantly enhanced both inside and out, it’s ready for adventure, big or small, routine, or extraordinary.
The BT-50 sports a bolder exterior look that progresses Mazda’s signature KODO – Soul of Motion design. It is most impactful from the front where the new Black Metallic Signature Wing grille and hexagonal inserts reflect the Mazda DNA, while exerting a sense of resolute capability. It is framed by new standard LED headlights with adjustable leveling control for optimal visibility even at full loads.
The front bumper has been resculpted with the daytime running lights moving from the fog lamp cluster to the headlamps. In its place are new integrated air vents which, together with the new air curtain underneath the front bumper, improve its aerodynamics for enhanced real-world fuel efficiency. A front skid plate further enhances its character.
At the rear, the BT-50’s expressive appearance has been heightened with a distinctive ridged design along the bottom edge of the tailgate. A new Tailgate Assist function reduces the effort needed to open or close the tailgate, making it convenient to load items. New LED taillamps with Emergency Stop Signal function and a larger Mazda logo complete the look.
Other changes include body-colored sideview mirrors and exclusive alloy wheel designs.
Adding to the BT-50’s powerful stance, the BT-50 4x4 Pangolin exclusively sports a Brilliant Black Fashion Bar with Pangolin badges, roof rails, two-tone fender flares, a revolver cargo bed cover, and 18-inch Diamond Cut alloy wheels with All-Terrain tires.
The BT-50 is powered by a standard 3.0-liter turbodiesel engine delivering 190 horsepower at 3,600 rpm and 450 Nm of torque from 1,600 to 2,600 rpm. Pairing a 6-speed automatic with Manual Mode, it delivers usable performance with superb fuel economy in a wide range of driving scenarios. Standard Hill Launch Assist prevents it from rolling backward when accelerating from a stop on an incline by briefly holding the brakes when the driver transitions from the brake pedal to the accelerator pedal.
The BT-50’s frame is composed of high-tensile steel making it strong and more rigid, while keeping it lightweight. It allows for a 1-ton payload capacity and up to 3,500 kilograms of towing capacity. The high-riding suspension provides up to 240 mm of ground clearance, and supplemented with 800 mm water wading capability, results in a BT-50 that can traverse any obstacle with peace of mind.
Exclusive to the BT-50 4x4 Pangolin is a new Rough Terrain Mode. Working in tandem with the Shift-on-the-Fly 4x4 system and Electronic Rear Differential Lock, it modulates throttle and brake inputs and prevents wheelspin by instantly sending power to the wheels with the most grip, ensuring exceptional traction on the most challenging surfaces. Hill Descent Control automatically maintains its speed when driving downhill, allowing the driver to focus purely on steering, enhancing safety and reducing fatigue.
The changes to the BT-50 are just as comprehensive inside the cabin. It is thoughtfully equipped with an abundance of standard features and accessories that make it ready for life straight from the showroom floor.
A new Human Machine Interface (HMI), measuring up to 9 inches, improves the overall ergonomics and functionality. This center infotainment screen is presented with a more responsive touchscreen. The updated interface includes a built-in clinometer that displays the pitch and roll of the BT-50 in real-time. It also serves as the display not just to the standard wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, but to the new 360-degree camera with built-in digital video recording (dash cam). A row of capacitive touch buttons and physical knobs for the volume and tuning make it more intuitive than ever, while USB Type C ports enable compatibility with the latest smartphones. On the BT-50 4x4 Pangolin, the ADAS functions are also now accessible through the infotainment screen.
Another visual highlight is the sophisticated interior color scheme. The BT-50 4x2 showcases Black and Terracotta Leather Seats with Leganu Suede inserts, exclusively designed for the Philippine market. This is matched by a black leather steering wheel and front center armrest with terracotta stitching, and terracotta door armrests. The BT-50 4x4 Pangolin, meanwhile, features all-black leather seats with perforated detailing and 8-way power adjustment for the driver.
All-weather floor mats are now standard on the BT-50. Made of tough and durable Thermoplastic Polyolefins (TPO) material, these deep dish, anti-slip floor mats are easy to clean and protect the floor from all liquids, dirt, and foul odors.
Exclusive to the BT-50 4x4 Pangolin are features such as a new 7-inch LCD meter cluster that clearly presents user-customizable information to the driver, a 15-watt wireless charger, an 8-speaker sound system that includes a pair of roof-mounted speakers, dual-zone climate control with rear vents, and Smart Keyless Entry with Remote Engine Start and Walk Away Auto Door Locks.
Finally, the suite of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) on the BT-50 4x4 Pangolin has been comprehensively updated, starting with new front stereo cameras with double the field of view. This further optimizes features such as the Adaptive Cruise Control, Front Autonomous Emergency Braking, and Lane Departure Warning. New for 2025 are functions such as Pedal Misapplication Mitigation, Rear Autonomous Emergency Braking, Rear Cross Traffic Brake, Multi-Collision Brake, and Driver Attention Assist.
The new Mazda BT-50 is offered in six exterior colors, all of which are available on both variants. Three all-new colors—Red Earth Metallic, Sailing Blue Metallic, and Geode White Pearl—are introduced for 2025, while three colors—Ingot Silver Metallic, Concrete Gray Mica, and True Black Mica—are carried over from the current BT-50.
It comes in two variants: the BT-50 3.0 4x2 priced at P 1,550,000 and the BT-50 4x4 Pangolin priced at P 1,850,000. This is inclusive of Mazda’s industry-leading 5-year Free Service Plan and complimentary 3-year 24/7 Emergency Roadside Assistance.

Not bad mazda!
ReplyDeleteMuch better offering, better looking and more competitive than the twin counterpart that likes to label their products as “premium” to justify their marked up prices
ReplyDeleteThank you Mazda for offering a fully loaded pickup, up to date features and great vehicle price using the reliable isuzu engine. Hoping that Filipinos will consider your vehicles as it is truly a very good vehicle package with the 5yrs free pms
ReplyDeleteUgly head unit
ReplyDelete4X2 variant is overpriced
Still no paddle shifters for the 4x4?
ReplyDeleteCurious to know if the head unit uses Mazda Connect
ReplyDeleteanalog gauges in 2025 lol
ReplyDeleteboth exterior and interior look like a car from 10yrs ago
its a dmax
DeleteInterior looks like an Isuzu and that's a bad thing
ReplyDeleteBetter than the D-Max. If Mazda can only produce a Ladder frame SUV, a mu-X twin counterpart, then it could be also better. The 4x2 BT-50 is better than the D-Max LS-A Plus because the former already have leather steering wheel and seats as well as LED headlights and taillamps
