- Suzuki revealed facelifted Carry and Super Carry kei trucks.
- Both models gain LED lights and a slimmer front grille design.
- Powertrain remains a 658cc three-cylinder with 50 hp.
Update: Following the official debut of the new Carry and Super Carry in Japan, we have updated the story with new photos and more information about the technical specifications and local pricing.
It’s been almost 12 years since the current generation of the Suzuki Carry arrived, remaining largely unchanged ever since, and the automaker has finally decided it’s time for a refresh. The updated model brings sharper styling and a few practical upgrades, extending the truck’s life in Japan’s crowded kei market.

Suzuki has finally unveiled the facelifted lineup including Carry and Super Carry body styles, which will again be offered in a variety of specialized LCV configurations (dump truck, food truck, gate lifter, refrigerated van, cleaning truck and more).
The biggest visual change comes up front, where the nose has been reworked with horizontally arranged headlights featuring dark clusters and standard LED lighting for a slightly tougher look.
The new headlights are combined with a slimmer grille and a slightly larger bumper intake. The rest of the bodywork remains unchanged, featuring the same practical metal rear bed with drop-down sides.
The same applies to the Super Cary with the slightly taller roof and the extended cabin, although this one gets glossy black trim between the headlights.

A standout addition to the range is the X Limited special edition of the Super Carry. It swaps the usual badge for bold Suzuki lettering and adds glossy black inserts on the grille, bumper intake, and fog light surrounds. It also features black graphics on the bodywork, along with matching steel wheels and door handles.
What’s Changed Inside?
While the interior can’t hide its age, Suzuki has at least improved the specification. Every model now comes with a digital instrument cluster tucked behind a two-spoke steering wheel that feels more retro than modern, like something lifted straight from a ‘90s work truck.
There’s no built-in infotainment system, though the central cutout can accommodate an 8-inch touchscreen if desired. Practicality gets a boost from new cupholders beneath the air vents, and the passenger now benefits from a seat assist grip. Furthermore, the passenger seat turns into a table, and there is a storage tray above the windshield.
Equipment has been upgraded with the Dual Sensor Brake Support II AEB, Lane Departure Prevention, Sign Recognition, Start Notification Function, Emergency Stop signal, and parking sensors (front and rear).

Suzuki has announced a range of accessories for the exterior and the interior. Options include black steel wheels, roof carrier, side decals, chrome-plated accents, interior garnish, leather seat covers, plus various cargo solutions and covers for the rear bed.
What Powers It?
The updated Carry and Super Carry continue with the kei-class 658cc three-cylinder engine which is good for 50 hp (37 kW / 50 PS) and 59 Nm (43.5 lb-ft) of torque. The mill can me mated to a five-speed manual or a four-speed automatic transmission.
Buyers have the choice between rear-wheel drive or selectable four-wheel drive. The latter is also available with a differential lock and a new “mud escape assist” function, allowing it to go further off the beaten track thanks to its short wheelbase and 273 mm (10.7-inch) ground clearance.
Priced From $7,500
The updated lineup of the Carry and Super Carry will reach Japanese dealers on January 23, 2026. Its main rival remains the long-running Daihatsu Hijet. Suzuki has already announced pricing, with a slight increase over its predecessor despite the improved equipment.
The cheapest Carry KC with RWD and a manual gearbox starts from ¥1,172,600 ($7,500). On the other end of the spectrum, the flagship Super Carry Special Edition X Limited with 4WD and an automatic is listed for ¥1,800,700 ($11,500).
Besides the regular lineup, Suzuki has also announced the prices of special conversions. The cheapest is the Kintaro dump truck at ¥1,618,100 ($10,300) and the most expensive is the low-temperature refrigerated truck at ¥2,658,700 ($17,000).
