Suzuki has unveiled updated images of both the Carry and Super Carry, showing off refreshed designs and confirming that these versatile light commercial vehicles (LCVs) will continue to be offered in multiple specialized configurations. It has been nearly 12 years since the current generation of the Suzuki Carry was introduced, and during that time the model remained largely unchanged. Now, Suzuki has opted for a much-needed refresh to bring the lineup closer to modern standards.
The most noticeable changes appear at the front of the vehicle. The updated nose features horizontally arranged headlights with dark clusters and standard LED lighting, giving the Carry a slightly tougher and more contemporary appearance. These new lights are paired with a slimmer grille and a slightly enlarged bumper intake, enhancing the overall look without altering the practical dimensions of the vehicle. The rest of the body remains familiar, retaining the metal rear bed with drop-down sides that has made the Carry a functional workhorse. The Super Carry follows the same visual update, with its slightly taller roof and extended cabin, though it adds glossy black trim between the headlights for a touch of distinction.
A notable addition to the lineup is the X Limited special edition of the Super Carry. This variant replaces the traditional badge with bold Suzuki lettering, adds glossy black accents to the grille, bumper intake, and fog light surrounds, and features black graphics on the body. Completing the look are matching black steel wheels and door handles, giving the X Limited a more aggressive and distinctive presence.
Inside, the Carry and Super Carry still show their age, but the cabin has seen some useful upgrades. Every model now comes with a digital instrument cluster positioned behind a two-spoke steering wheel, which retains a retro feel reminiscent of older work trucks from the 1990s. While there is no integrated infotainment system, the central dashboard opening can accommodate an 8-inch touchscreen if desired. Practical updates include new cupholders beneath the air vents and a seat assist grip for the passenger, enhancing everyday usability.
Safety and equipment have also been upgraded. The updated models feature Dual Sensor Brake Support II (AEB), Lane Departure Prevention, Sign Recognition, Start Notification Function, Emergency Stop signal, and parking sensors. Additionally, a “mud-escape assistance” function has been introduced to improve traction in challenging conditions.
While Suzuki has not disclosed full mechanical specifications, the refreshed Carry and Super Carry are expected to continue using the kei-class 658cc three-cylinder engine, producing 50 hp and 59 Nm of torque. Buyers can choose between rear-wheel drive and four-wheel drive configurations, paired with either a five-speed manual or a four-speed automatic transmission.
Sales of the updated Carry range are expected to begin in Japan in the coming weeks or months. Pricing details will be confirmed closer to the launch, but the current model starts at $6,800 and rises to $9,800, depending on the trim. The Carry’s long-standing competitor remains the Daihatsu Hijet, which continues to dominate the kei-truck segment alongside Suzuki’s refreshed offering.
