2026 Mazda BT-50
One configuration per trim, named under each heading, with its numbers as Mazda prints them. “Up to” is a ceiling printed over several configurations (the notes say whose), “from” the lowest figure, and a range is printed across that configuration’s grades. “Door label” means the maker prints it only on each vehicle’s certification label.
Australian figures: these come from Mazda’s Australian documents. Ratings in other markets, the US among them, can differ.
