Welcome to the Mazda BT-50 vs Isuzu D-Max comparison for 2021. It’s been 9 years since the last BT-50 was released and that model was shared/badged as the Ford Ranger. Surprisingly the new Mazda BT-50 is an all new model but this time shared with Isuzu. In comparison the Isuzu D-Max was and is still a shared model with GM in various countries and now as the newest Mazda BT-50.
Mazda BT-50 vs Isuzu D-Max exterior comparison: The base line in the comparison is the Isuzu D-Max since it the basis for the new Mazda BT-50. As we’ve said before the design of the D-Max is overall conservative and a visually at least a minimal update from the last model. In comparison while the only difference between the two is that the BT-50 has a Mazda style from end.
Mazda BT-50 vs Isuzu D-Max interior comparison: Once again the base line comparison is the D-Max which has much better interior materials and design compared to the last model. In comparison the BT-50 has the same interior with only the center stack and console being different. They do have the design and quality expected in a 2020 commercial vehicle is the bet description or one or two generations behind regular car like the Toyota Camry for example.
Mazda BT-50 vs Isuzu D-Max engine and technology comparison: Both are identical in terms of engines and safety systems dependent on model grade hence nothing to compare. Summarised, both have class topping safety and class average power.
The winner of the Mazda BT-50 vs Isuzu D-Max comparison is a draw. As you’ve probably already guessed there is very little material difference between the two models. As a result buying one over the other is based on mainly branding and price or the deal on offer. That said we prefer the color choices for the BT-50 over the Isuzu D-Max.
