Mazda has lifted the lid on the 2025 BT-50, bringing a range of updates that aim to toughen up the popular ute, modernise its tech, and boost safety features. Since its 2020 relaunch, the BT-50 has built a reputation for reliability and versatility, and these latest changes ensure it keeps pace in a competitive market.
Sharper Design, Rugged Appeal
Mazda’s “Kodo” design philosophy continues, but the 2025 BT-50 has bulked up with a more muscular look. A reworked front end features a bold, larger grille and sharp LED headlights, giving it an aggressive, road-ready stance. The redesigned bumper includes an ‘air curtain’ for improved aerodynamics, although how much this impacts real-world fuel efficiency remains to be seen.
At the rear, the tailgate adopts a new ridged design, and larger LED tail-lights, alongside a bolder Mazda badge, enhance its presence. Fresh alloy wheel designs further cement its rugged appeal, making this update more than just a facelift, but a functional enhancement to its tough aesthetic.

Tech Upgrades You’ll Notice
Mazda has given the BT-50’s tech a much-needed boost. The infotainment system now comes with a larger, responsive 9-inch touchscreen, complete with physical volume and tuning dials, making it more user-friendly—especially when navigating bumpy roads. A 7-inch Multi-Information Display (MID) has been added behind the steering wheel, capable of showing useful off-road data like tilt angles and tyre pressure.
A thoughtful addition is a USB port near the rearview mirror, which makes it easier to mount and charge dash cams or other accessories. Mazda has also expanded connectivity options, with wireless Android Auto now joining wireless Apple CarPlay, plus added USB-C ports to keep all your devices juiced up.
For those opting for higher-end models, there’s a new black and terracotta leather interior with stitched ‘BT-50’ logos in the front headrests. It’s a bit of a luxury touch for a working ute, but it certainly adds character.
Safety Gets Serious
Safety has seen a major upgrade, with the BT-50 now featuring wider-view front stereo cameras, improving visibility for drivers. The suite of driver assistance systems has been enhanced with Traffic Jam Assist, Rear Cross Traffic Brake, and updated Adaptive Cruise Control that uses traffic sign recognition to automatically adjust speed.
One of the standout safety features is the hydrophobic-coated rearview camera, which repels water and keeps the lens clearer in bad weather. Dynamic parking guidelines have been added to the touchscreen for easier manoeuvring, while the Autonomous Emergency Braking system now includes motorcycle and pedestrian detection.
Final Word
Mazda’s 2025 BT-50 isn’t rewriting the rulebook, but it’s certainly fine-tuning what has made the ute a popular choice. The rugged new design, upgraded tech, and improved safety features make this a more complete package for both work and play. Pricing and full specifications will be revealed closer to its 2025 launch, but Mazda looks ready to keep the BT-50 in the spotlight for another year.
