Mazda Southern Africa is pleased to announce the local launch of the all-new Mazda BT-50, the third model in a new generation of Mazda vehicles.
The all-new Mazda BT-50 is fully redesigned from the ground up and units sold in South Africa will be produced in Thailand.
“We could not be prouder or more excited to launch the all-new BT-50 in Southern Africa now, says Craig Roberts, MD of Mazda Southern Africa. “The vehicle has a long history locally, and internationally. It has been re-imagined and re-built from the ground up, with all the utilitarian value of a double-cab bakkie, and all the comfort and technology expected of an SUV. We are confident it will be met with enthusiasm by our customers and media alike, as a true stand-out and another bold reflection on our Japanese Heritage,” he concluded.
