Some Powertrain Details

All-New Mazda BT-50 Powertrain Specifications

Two new advanced diesel engines, both offering significant increases in power and torque with improved fuel efficiency, will ensure the All-New Mazda BT-50 has the grunt to handle even the toughest tasks.

The headline act for the All-New BT-50 range is the new MZ-CD 3.2 litre diesel engine delivering a massive 470Nm of torque and 147kW of power. This represents a 24 per cent increase in torque while power is up by 28 per cent over the current BT-50’s 3.0 litre diesel engine.

The adoption of a new high-pressure fuel system combined with advanced turbocharging ensures the 3.2 litre diesel engine delivers a more refined and responsive drive.

These refinements also help to ensure that the new MZ-CD 3.2 litre diesel will be more fuel efficient than the 3.0 litre diesel engine it replaces.

The new 3.2 litre engine will be mated to a choice of new six-speed transmissions, in either manual or automatic guise. Both new transmissions have been developed to exhibit low levels of noise, vibration and harshness making for a smoother and quieter ride.

Also joining the All-New BT-50 line-up is a new MZ-CD 2.2 litre diesel engine which has been designed to further improve efficiency while delivering an impressive 375 Nm of torque and 110 kW of power. When compared with the current BT-50’s 2.5 litre diesel engine, this represents a 14 per cent increase in torque and a 5 per cent increase in power. Fuel economy is also improved.

Both new powertrains have been developed to ensure the All-New BT-50 delivers towing capacities never before seen on this type of vehicle. The 3.2 litre engine with either manual or automatic transmission will be capable of towing up to a huge 3,350kg, delivering a 350kg increase over the current model.

The 2.2 litre engine offers a highly competitive 2,500kg maximum towing capacity, an increase of 250kg over the current 2.5 litre model.

I think most trucks are Ugly. But with an ARB bumper, 33" Mud Terrains, and a 3" lift it would look pretty mean.

Reminds me of the mini truckin' era when they had the Mazda B2000 mini truck. Now, they are building bigger ones. I miss those days when they made only mini's. I used to own a 89 Mitsubishi Mighty Max mini truck before. I sold it when i went to the Army.

I feel like it would look MUCH better if they would lower the Mazda emblem by about 2 inches on the nose. Looks terrible where it is...

No it is not UGLY, Given the SIZE of what is now required by US laws.

Just what would all these experts design??????...

I will bet none of them would be allowed.

EVERY truck looks "ugly" today...US has made some real beauties!

An F150 looks good!!??
