AutoExec Summary

CarAdvice highly rates the Isuzu D-Max and Mazda BT-50, two vehicles sharing a platform but with distinct characteristics. After transitioning from Ford to Isuzu’s 4WD platform in 2020, both utes now offer robust performance, thanks to their 3.0-litre turbo-diesel engines delivering 140kW and 450Nm. Pricing starts around $50,760 for the BT-50 and $48,900 for the D-Max, with the BT-50’s top-spec GT priced at $56,990 against the D-Max’s $54,000. While both utes perform well off-road, the Mazda features higher-spec comfort options, and both are backed by strong warranties—six years for Isuzu and five years for Mazda. Ultimately, both models impress in their segment, providing reliable performance and practicality.
