Priced from $19,990 driveaway, the Boss pack on 4x2 models offers a range of essential tradesman tools - air conditioning, alloy tray, ladder racks and two tool boxes - while 4x4 vehicles also receive a free alloy bull bar.

The updated B Series range incorporates a host of upgrades that includes dual airbags on 4x2 models with bucket seats, while all Bravos have a CD player as standard.

Other changes include revised interior trim on Freestyle and range-topping SDX models, new rough-pattern tread tyres on Single Cab, Freestyle and DX specification Dual Cab 4x4 models and new colours including Titanium Grey, Black and Blue Pacific.

SDX models also feature new-look alloys, a lidded centre armrest console with dual compartments, three cupholders, a fuel lid opener and a new-style retractable ignition key.

The upgrades, Boss packs and driveaway prices will provide further market momentum to Mazda’s commercial mainstay, which is already enjoying a substantial lift in sales.

To the end of August Mazda has sold 3927 B Series vehicles, an improvement of more than 10 per cent on the same time last year.

The managing director of Mazda Australia said: “The combination of these product improvements and the value offered by the Boss pack and driveaway pricing makes the B Series a class leader.

“Add to this its refined on-road performance, a powerful and economical turbo diesel and the 4x4 vehicles’ offroad ability and the B Series becomes the standout buy in the commercial market”.

The B Series range is protected by Mazda’s innovative 2 Year/unlimited or 3 Year/100,000 kilometre warranty, allowing owners to choose the coverage best suited to their needs
