Nearly twelve years have passed since the current-generation Suzuki Carry first entered production, and during that long run, the compact workhorse has seen very few changes. Now, Suzuki has finally introduced a refreshed version of its kei-class truck, giving the Carry a sharper appearance and several functional improvements designed to keep it competitive in Japan’s highly contested light commercial vehicle segment. The facelift applies to both the standard Carry and the larger Super Carry, which will once again be offered in multiple body styles and purpose-built commercial configurations.
The most noticeable updates are found at the front of the vehicle. Suzuki has redesigned the nose with horizontally oriented headlights that feature darker internal elements and standard LED technology, lending the tiny truck a more modern and slightly more rugged presence. These revised headlights are paired with a slimmer upper grille and a subtly enlarged lower air intake integrated into the bumper. Beyond the front fascia, the exterior remains largely unchanged, retaining the same straightforward cab-and-bed design with a durable metal cargo tray and fold-down sides. The Super Carry, which offers a taller roofline and extended cabin for added interior space, follows the same formula but adds glossy black trim between the headlights for a touch of distinction.
A notable highlight of the updated range is the Super Carry X Limited special edition. This variant replaces the traditional Suzuki badge with bold “SUZUKI” lettering across the front and incorporates blacked-out details on the grille, bumper intake, and fog lamp surrounds. Additional visual upgrades include black exterior graphics, matching steel wheels, and black door handles, giving the work-focused truck a tougher and more expressive look.
Inside the cabin, the Carry’s age is still evident, but Suzuki has made several welcome improvements to equipment and usability. All versions now feature a digital instrument display positioned behind a simple two-spoke steering wheel that feels intentionally utilitarian, echoing classic work trucks from decades past. There is still no factory-fitted infotainment system, although the center dashboard recess can accommodate an optional eight-inch touchscreen. Everyday practicality has been enhanced with newly added cupholders beneath the air vents, a passenger-side assist grip, a folding passenger seat that doubles as a small table, and an overhead storage shelf above the windshield.
Safety and driver assistance features have also been upgraded. The refreshed Carry lineup now includes Dual Sensor Brake Support II autonomous emergency braking, lane departure prevention, traffic sign recognition, start notification alerts, an emergency stop signal, and parking sensors. Suzuki has also introduced an extensive list of optional accessories, ranging from black steel wheels and roof carriers to side decals, chrome trim, interior dress-up parts, leather seat covers, and a variety of cargo management solutions for the rear bed.
Under the hood, the Carry and Super Carry continue to use a 658cc three-cylinder engine producing 50 horsepower and 59 Nm of torque. Buyers can choose between a five-speed manual or a four-speed automatic transmission, along with rear-wheel drive or selectable four-wheel drive. The 4WD system can be paired with a differential lock and a new “mud escape assist” feature, enhancing off-road capability despite the truck’s compact dimensions, short wheelbase, and 273 mm of ground clearance.
The refreshed Suzuki Carry range will go on sale in Japan on January 23, 2026. Pricing has increased slightly to reflect the added features, with the most affordable rear-wheel-drive Carry KC manual starting at ¥1,172,600 (around $7,500), while the top-tier Super Carry X Limited with four-wheel drive and automatic transmission reaches ¥1,800,700 (approximately $11,500).
