The refined Mazda BT-50 inherits the stylish flair of the sporty and athletic looks that have earned such high praise for the current model, while incorporating a touch of brawny truck toughness into the exterior design to add fresh new appeal that conveys rugged reliability and distinct individualistic character. Combined with the wide range of available body colours, including newly added colours, the new design gives the exterior smarter, even sportier pickup truck presence.

- While inheriting the large one-piece front fascia that integrates the grille and bumper, the refined Mazda BT-50 introduces a pair of vertical character lines that travel from the bonnet, along the right and left sides of the grille, and down to the bottom edge of the front bumper.
