Mazda’s facelifted 2025 BT-50 ute line-up has landed with price rises across the trimmed down line-up after the discontinuation of manual variants and the flagship Thunder – though the latter could return at a later stage.

This leaves the MX-5 has the only model left in Mazda’s line-up with a three-pedal option after the manual Mazda 2 was also dropped late last year and the Mazda 3 in May, 2023.

The XT version of the same body style is also $880 up, now positioned at $39,400, while the Freestyle Cab Chassis moves up $980 to $43,000.

In 4×2 Dual Cab Chassis XT form, prices are up the smallest (+$550 to $46,610), while the 4×2 Dual Cab Pickup versions of the XT and XTR are now $48,210 (+$750) and $53,790 (+$2250) respectively.

Moving to the 4×4 line-up, the Single Cab Chassis XT is $1230 dearer at $47,250 and the Freestyle Cab Chassis XT is $1480 for expensive than before at $51,000.

The XT, XTR and GT grades of the 4×4 Dual Cab Chassis are now priced at $54,620 (+$790), $59,650 (+$1770) and $63,070 (+$1810).

The 4×4 Dual Cab Pickup line-up is offered in four flavours – XT ($56,220), XTR ($62,750), GT ($66,170) and SP ($71,500) – with prices rising between $990-$3510.

All versions are powered by a 3.0-litre turbo-diesel four-cylinder engine, outputting 140kW/450Nm, barring the entry-level XS that features a 110kW/350Nm 1.9-litre turbo-diesel four-cylinder.

Both engines are paired with a six-speed automatic transmission.

However, somewhat justifying the price rise in the 2025 model is the standard inclusion of an 8.0-inch infotainment touchscreen (up from seven inches), which also now has wireless Android Auto in addition to the wire-free Apple CarPlay.

Other standard features include 17-inch steel wheels, LED headlights and black cloth interior, while safety systems extend to adaptive cruise control, lane-keep assist, a reversing camera, blind-spot monitoring, traffic sign recognition, and rear cross-traffic alert.

Stepping up to the XT grade adds 17-inch alloy wheels, as well as the beefier engine, with 4×4 models scoring a locking rear differential and Rough-Terrain drive mode, pick-up body styles featuring an assisted tailgate and rear parking sensors, and the dual-cab versions featuring rear air vents.

On the outside, XTR variants are distinguished by 18-inch machined alloy wheels, front LED fog lamps, auto-levelling headlights, power-folding mirrors, side-steps and daytime running lights, while inside it scores a 9-inch infotainment touchscreen with satellite navigation, dual-zone climate control, keyless entry, and a tyre pressure monitor.

Pickup versions of the XTR also feature a tow bar and tubliner.

Stepping up to the GT nets buyers heated side mirrors, leather seats, electronically adjustable driver’s seat, heated front seats, front parking sensors, and remote engine start

As for the flagship, for now, SP, blacked-out exterior highlights are added, including 18-inch alloy wheels, sail plane sports bar, side steps, fender flares, roof rails, door and tailgate handles, and side mirror caps, as well as a manually operated roller tonneau cover.
