ANCAP Safety Report (PDF)

The Mazda BT-50 was first introduced in Australia and New Zealand in October 2020. The ANCAP safety rating for the Mazda BT-50 is based on testing of its shared platform, the Isuzu D-MAX. ANCAP was provided with technical information which showed that the test results achieved by the D-MAX also apply to the BT-50.

Mazda BT-50 vehicles built from July 2022 are equipped with a revised driver knee airbag and instrument panel that provide improved safety performance. Additional frontal impact tests were conducted on the updated D-MAX to verify the safety improvement, and this 2022 rating combines the results of the additional 2022 tests with the results of the original D-MAX tests conducted in 2020.

This ANCAP safety rating applies to all BT-50 models built from July 2022, excluding the Thunder and XTR LE variants. The safety performance of the Thunder and XTR LE variants has not been assessed.

Dual frontal, side chest-protecting and side head-protecting (curtains) and a driver knee airbag are standard. A centre airbag which provides added protection to front seat occupants in side impact crashes is also standard on all variants.

Autonomous emergency braking (Car-to-Car and Vulnerable Road User) as well as lane keep assist (LKA) with lane departure warning (LDW), emergency lane keeping (ELK) and an advanced speed assistance system (SAS) are fitted as standard equipment on all variants.
