Mazda Mzansi today announced the end of production and importation of the Mazda BT-50 Double Cab Pick-up for the South African market.
The current version which launched in 2021 and was manufactured in Thailand as part of an alliance with Isuzu, has not made inroads into our extremely competitive double-cab market, especially in comparison to Brands that manufacture locally.
Current Inventory at Dealers will be the final available BT-50 vehicles for retail sale in SA, no further imports of the BT-50 will be brought to SA by Mazda SA Pty Ltd.
The existing BT-50 car parc, both current generation as well as previous generation vehicles both under Warranty and in Service Plan as well all vehicles currently in service on SA roads will continue to be supported by Mazda SA and it’s 42 Dealers around the country. As with the run-out of any specific model, Mazda SA will continue to support BT-50 with all service, repair, and replacement parts.
Mazda Corporation will continue to manufacture the BT-50 as part of its alliance with Isuzu for other global markets.
