The 2019 Mazda BT-50 is expected to get some distinctive and modern features as the next-generation truck, although it has already been compared by many to the Ford Ranger model. However, it could become a serious competition to the Volkswagen Amarok, as we have been informed. When it comes to innovations, the new BT-50 will be using lightweight materials in building its chassis. Such a chassis of the reduced weight will only improve the acceleration, fuel efficiency and the total performance of the vehicle. Everything on this truck will be more fashionable, elegant and a bit aggressive. In the front fascia, there is a large, dominant grille made of stainless steel. The massive bumper has also been redesigned and you will also notice the halogen headlights and simple but modern fog lights. The new BT-50 is expected to stand on either 16-inch or 17-inch aluminum wheels.

What you can expect inside the 2019 Mazda BT-50 will definitely depend on the configuration and the trim you choose. However, one thing is for sure – you will not be disappointed. Whether you decide upon a two-door or a four-door cab, you will get plenty of space inside the cabin of the new 2019 Mazda BT-50. Spacious and comfortable, the cabin is also expected to be furnished with high-quality materials such as leather in higher trims or a black cloth in lower ones. It will be able to accommodate up to four or even five passengers and all of them will get large, comfortable and adjustable seats.
