Mazda BT-50 2016 Video Review

Marcus Craft road tests and reviews the Mazda BT-50 XTR 4x4 Freestyle cab ute with specs, fuel consumption and verdict.

With updated versions for 2016, Mazda BT-50 and Ford Ranger utes continue to chip away at Hilux's supremacy in the Australian ute market. Of those, the dual-cab models rule the roost when it comes to options for buyers looking for roomy family-friendly SUVs with what closely approximates car-like ride and handling. But, for buyers in need of less cabin space and more room in the tray, a good-value, multi-purpose ute – such as the 2016 Mazda BT-50 XTR 4x4 Freestyle Cab – should not be ignored.

The new XTR 4x4 Freestyle Cab – $49,675, up from $48,890 – offers a practical and appealing solution to those in need of a workhorse for actual work and/or a tough truck capable of handling weekend warrior duties, loaded with camping gear and mountain-bikes.
