The XS single cab chassis is the entry-level model to the 2025 Mazda BT-50 range.

Priced from $36,400 (plus on-road costs) - but available at launch for $38,990 drive-away - the XS comes equipped with 17-inch steel wheels, LED headlights, black cloth seats, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto and an 8.0-inch colour multimedia touchscreen.

The XS is powered by a 1.9-litre four-cylinder turbo-diesel engine, which makes 110kW/350Nm, and is paired with a six-speed automatic transmission. The engine is unique to the XS and is only available with 4x2.

It's smaller engine makes it the most frugal member of the range, using just 7.7L/100km.

Steve has been obsessed with all things automotive for as long as he can remember. Literally, his earliest memory is of a car. Having amassed an enviable Hot Wheels and Matchbox collection as a kid he moved into the world of real cars with an Alfa Romeo Alfasud. Despite that questionable history he carved a successful career for himself, firstly covering motorsport for Auto Action magazine before eventually moving into the automotive publishing world with CarsGuide in 2008. Since then he's worked for every major outlet, having work published in The Sydney Morning Herald, The Age, Drive.com.au, Street Machine, V8X and F1 Racing. These days he still loves cars as much as he did as a kid and has an Alfa Romeo Alfasud in the garage (but not the same one as before... that's a long story).
