Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
The smaller 1.9-litre Mazda BT-50 is finally here - but with the money you save, should you just spend the extra and buy the 3.0-litre? Paul Maric takes the 1.9-litre Mazda BT-50 for a spin to see if it’s any good!

BT-50s are already overpriced but 50k for a 1.9l motor. Whoever thought of this should be sacked.

The 1.9 puts out more power than the 2.5 from the previous model.
If this Mazda ever came to Canada, I would buy one in a heartbeat
Just out and out penny pinching fitting a smaller screen into a full size bezel. And it really cheapens the look of it
I think they should have gone further to make this a true entry level model. There are lots of people who use it on sealed roads only and never tow but want to blend in on a construction site. Like, removing the 4wd system but keep the ride height, adding a 5 speed manual option, remove bedliner, make rear windows manual, use steel wheels. I think all that would bring the price down by at least 5k, maybe more.

in Thailand (which is where this BT50 is built) have the 3 entry level which is 1.9l single cab with steelies wheels mated with 6 speed manual transmission , as for the double cab have option with both automatic and manual transmission option.

Hey mate. Just wanted to let you know that what you’re talking about right here does exist. It’s called the xs this one is a 1.9 Xt I believe
The 1.9 liter engine is the only choice in the EU because it passes the euro6 regulations. But we don't get the Mazda we only get the Isuzu.

Hey mate, I love your reviews! I would like to add a suggestion for your upcoming reviews. It's good to include how reliable the safety systems are because nowadays every vehicle is coming with a complete pack of systems like lane keep assist, radar cruise control and so on.

Good review. Why are you still using high range for hill descent? And is there a benchmark vehicle for comparing this feature? Most vehicles seem to go too fast but maybe all of them would work well in low range. I'm sure many viewers would wonder the same. Cheers Paul.
I bought a mazda bt50 2022 4×2 Automatic. This model because it's affordable and workable for me.
This level of power and torque is on par with a mainstream ute of the late 2000's
hello, can you re-review the triton especially the traction control test? To be honest this 1.9 l engine is kinda ok if you using it for daily and mud off roading, oh to me its power feels like toyota hilux 2.4 but with good fuel consumtion. the fuel efficiency is the main salepoint here,in my country achieveving 1000km milage per fuel tank is possible in stock and around 800-900km is possible in 31inch mt tires with 250kg load in the tub.
Would pick the Triton over this anyday unless $35k driveaway

Geez wasn’t expecting to see 51k 😂😂 This is a 40 grand Ute all day, definitely would never buy this. I paid 39k for my GLS Triton
Good evening, love your videos. Your review of the 2022/2020 ISUZU D-MAX helped me alot. Can you do a review of the mustang GTR 500 2020 for me please
Please kindly do a Review on the BT50 SP top of the line paul. Thanks
Honestly for hill descent, it's preferable to use low range and 1st or 2nd gear depending on the steepness.

I choose my gear (sometimes) but love HDC as it can modulate the brakes on each wheel individually which a driver cannot do. With the brake pedal and gears you cannot control individual wheel braking. HDC does a far better job than any human can do.
Ill take your advice Paul and go for the 3.0 although Isuzu with dash cup holders.
Can you recommend which ute would be better this 1.9l mazda 4x4 or the 4x4 ssangyong musso elx?
If I was to buy the 1.9ltr I would go 2wd as it’s a option .. as extra weight of AWD would effect economy I presume?
This is what mazda philippines is missing, a 4x4 1.9l engine option. Great work mazda australia
The rear lights are not halogen. They are just incandescent. Halogen is quite different and is what they use in headlights (when not LED or Xenon etc) and are very bright compared to incandescent. The door test should be consistent across all vehicles and be done with the windows closed (like you normally do). With an open window it changes the internal pressure when the door is shut.
Hi, I would like to seek some advice from the experts here. I have the 1.9L BT-50 2022. However, my kids have been complaining that they feel like vomiting every-time we go on long rides on highways. Is there a quick an easy fix improve the ride? I saw some youtube mentioning to downsize from the stock 17" to 16" wheels for thicker tires. Will this help? or should I look into upgrading the suspensions? I don't do much heavy lifting, it's more of a lifestyle utility vehicle for my family to go occasional camping. Hope to hear some advice here. Thank you in advance.

hi paul could u review the audi q3 sportback 35TFSI please
Thank you for this! I was tempted by the 1.9 litre 4x2 model here, purely because of price advantages - after driving them both, i decided to put out the extra to get the 4x4. But i would've loved seeing this video a few weeks ago when i was desperately trying to make up my mind 😂

Great choice! I drove the 4x4 1.9L on Saturday and loved it! It’ll do me nicely getting into deer & trout country…. That 1L saving per 100kms sure will add up over a year or so, especially when diesel hits $3 or more the way we are going of late 🙄
$50,000 basic? Honestly GWM or even Korean brand I would save $10000 and get top of the range 😎

If you ever get the chance, can you review the new Suzuki Baleno? I'm interested in buying one and would like to know what the new touchscreen is like! Thanks.
Hi Paul, Would you pick this at $51,490 plus on road costs or a GWM Cannon X at around $45k Drive Away? The GWM gets canned for only being a 2.0 litre but has more power and torque than this.

@@calvinbrillus6507 I'm not worried about this smaller engine at all. And I don't believe GWM ever went bankrupt. They did pull out of Australia but have returned bigger and stronger which a bunch of other companies have done in the past. I no way am I campaigning for the GWM or LDV or any other budget ute. I was merely asking how this compares to those vehicles for less money. The biggest problem reported with the budget utes was power compared to the more powerful versions of competitor utes. Now that power is on an even playing field with vehicles such as this BT50 what car makes more sense?

@@ardenlester3877 I looked at the GWM idea based on price. Did you know that you can't even buy a factory approved Bull Bar for one ? In fact you can't buy any at all , other than modifying another type to fit (And that doesn't mean it will work) I guess it's a non issue for city people , but it made me walk away , straight away. Great Wall were junk when they 1st were invented and brought to our shores . Today they have been re invented marketing wise but now classed as Glam Junk.
I hope they will produce a 2.2 engine like the old B2200s displacement

I wouldn’t waste my time on this Ute I’d just pay the extra and get the bigger engine
I got the 2008 version. Really great vehicle but unfortunately I got parts stolen from mine.
Why would you get this when you can get a top spec triton for similar price with longer warranty, bigger engine etc. If youre not fussed on engine size or country of origin youd get better value from the chinese utes also
Any Wireless Android Auto?
its looks fine , but the cost $50k ? bit concerned about the engine size , inside looks cheap seems to work in 4x4 , might as well buy a LDV
Can you do a review of the Peugeot 2008 and 3008? Top line of both cars.

Mazda is still living in the 90's.
For a measly $3k saving why would you bother
this is a 2001 model ressurected in 2022.
So weird to see a physical key on a car in 2022 😂 Surely it would be a slug with nearly 1.2T in the tray. Really needs to be a bare bones entry level with this engine. At this price point, you'd just go with the bigger engine

If it runs away the low range must be worse than the old model. A step backwards.

At least knock a further 10k off this price if Mazda intend on moving these units. Way over priced and too close to the 4JJ3 pricing.

I thought of that comparison too. Pay extra 5-10k to save that 2-3 litres/ 100km. 🤔. With entry level specs.
For 50G. Ummmm. I know Asian love saving money. But they wouldn't wanna pay for this. Even The Aussies who loves power but 50k for a baby engine where we love power for towing or driving. I rather go for a Ssangyong Musso Luxury, Cannon X or Triton GLS.

7:15 reviewers often get the USB plug type wrong, or mischaracterize what it is. USB-A is the small plug with the two little retention tabs, and has clear top and bottom sides. USB-C, ie the newer type, has no retention tabs on the plug, and is the same top and bottom, therefore it doesn't matter which way 'round you plug it in. These should not be confused with a standard USB port, like what this pickup has. Many vehicles use standard ports like this, so that a flash-drive with music, navigation files etc, can be plugged in. Alternatively, you can also plug in your phone via a standard USB-A, USB-C, or Apple cord, which your device would have come with. If vehicles have actual USB-A or USB-C plugs, as some do, special cords for needed to plug in your device, such as a USB-C - to - USB-C cord. Moral of the story, nothing is wrong with a standard USB port. It is the most versatile type to put in a vehicle, since every type of device can be plugged in without the need for special cords or adaptors.
