The Mazda BT-50 XT is one of the most versatile members of the range. It's available as a single cab or dual cab and is the only option if you want the Freestyle cab.

It's available with the 140kW/450Nm 3.0-litre turbo-diesel engine and six-speed automatic transmission, with the choice of either 4x2 or 4x4. Fuel economy is rated at 8.0L/100km for 4x4 models and 7.7L/100km for 4x2.

It comes equipped with 17-inch alloy wheels, LED headlights, black cloth seats, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, an 8.0-inch colour multimedia touchscreen, a rear locking differential and rough-terrain mode on 4x4 models, rear-air conditioning (for dual cabs) and tailgate assist and rear parking sensors for pick-up models. 

The BT-50 XT is priced from $39,400 for the single cab, from $43,000 for the Freestyle and starts at $46,610 (all prices exclude on-road costs) for the dual cab.

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).
