Mazda's new-age BT-50 ute has made sure about a greatest five-star ANCAP wellbeing rating, yet its general score is marginally lower than its D-Max twin.
The BT-50 was relied upon to make sure about the greatest five-star rating after the D-Max turned into the main ute to score a five-star rating under the current and more tough accident testing program. Of note, ANCAP refreshed its testing methodology for 2020 to build the trouble of the side-sway test. While the BT-50 scored indistinguishably from the D-Max in three of ANCAP's four trying classifications, it fell behind by two just in the 'weak street client insurance' (VRU) class. These focuses were lost in sway zones for frontal impacts with walkers, leaving the BT-50's one of a kind guard plan as its sole feeble point contrasted with the D-Max.
Back AEB was likewise outstandingly absent (all things considered on the D-Max), leaving the BT-50 with a VRU score of 67 percent. The BT-50's AEB framework works from 8-160km/h and was likewise docked focuses for just 'negligible' discovery of cyclists.
Other outstanding accomplishments for the BT-50 incorporate its indistinguishable back inhabitant insurance score to the D-Max and high 89 percent score in the 'youngster tenant security' classification, which will be a significant factor with more families picking a double taxi as a multi-reason family transport.

Similarly as with the D-Max, all Australian variations of the BT-50 are secured by the five-star score. ANCAP correspondences chief Rhianne Robson stated: "It is consoling to see the security of Mazda clients and other street clients being organized paying little mind to showcase section."
All vehicles in Mazda's reach in Australia are presently fitted with at any rate city-speed AEB and convey greatest five-star ANCAP security evaluations. Eminent BT-50 opponents, the Toyota HiLux and Ford Ranger, likewise convey five-star appraisals, in spite of the fact that these scores were granted in 2019 and 2015 separately to less exacting norms.
