- Suzuki unveils a facelifted version of the Carry and Super Carry.
- Kei trucks gain a redesigned face with LED headlights and grille.
- Both models gain a digital instrument cluster inside the cabin.
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 released photos of both the updated Carry and Super Carry body styles, which will again be offered in a variety of specialized LCV configurations.
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?
The interior can’t hide its age, but 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.
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). There is also a “mud-escape assistance” function, which should help when traction is not a given.
What Powers It?
Suzuki hasn’t shared full mechanical details yet, but it’s expected the updated Carry and Super Carry will continue with the kei-class 658cc three-cylinder engine producing 50 hp (37 kW / 50 PS) and 59 Nm (43.5 lb-ft) of torque.
Buyers will again have the choice between rear-wheel drive or four-wheel drive, paired with either a five-speed manual or a four-speed automatic transmission.
Priced From Under $7,000
Sales of the updated Carry lineup are set to begin in Japan within the next few weeks or months. Pricing will be confirmed closer to launch, though the current range starts from ¥1,051,600 and tops out at ¥1,514,700 ($6,800–9,800), depending on trim. Its main rival remains the long-running Daihatsu Hijet.
