The first Suzulight Carry were produced from October 1961. First there was a pickup , which was equipped with the two-cylinder two- stroke engine in underfloor construction of the first Suzuki passenger car Suzuki Suzulight . This initially produced 16 kW (21  hp ) with a displacement of 359  cm³ . In July 1962, the so-called van version followed, a pickup with a wooden or steel structure. The top speed of both models was 76 km / h. The vehicles had a wheelbase of 185 centimeters and were equipped with leaf spring chassis. In September 1964 a station wagon appeared in which the rear bench seat could be removed.

In July 1965, the first model change of the pickup took place as the Suzulight Carry L20 with an improved chassis and two centimeters longer wheelbase. The engine was also revised and now developed 21 hp. The top speed dropped slightly to 75 km / h. The Carry Van station wagon followed in January 1966. The pickup was again delivered with a wooden or steel superstructure and a tarpaulin top version with two additional rear seats in the cargo area. Until 1969 this series was produced parallel to the "Suzuki Carry L30" version launched in 1966.

In February 1966, the new Suzuki Carry L30 was presented for the first time. Suzuki only used the name Suzulight for the L20 and the first Suzuki car, the Suzuki Suzulight . The L30 Carry was now a front handlebar with a rear engine . He too had the two-cylinder two-stroke engine in underfloor construction. However, the starter and alternator were placed in the front. In addition to the pickup version, there were also versions with wooden tarpaulins or steel superstructures. The payload of the pickup was higher than that of the L20 and a maximum of 350 kg. From March 1968 a carry-van version (L30V) was also available with a side door and tailgate as a station wagon with 4 seats.

Suzuki Carry L40 Van

The L40 generation appeared in July 1969 and was designed by Giugiaro . In November of the same year, the van version with now two sliding side doors and a tailgate with a sloping rear window appeared as a minibus. The Giugiaro design had the disadvantage of limited interior space and was a little too modern for the typically very conservative Japanese commercial customers. The engine had been revised due to stricter emissions standards and now developed 25 hp (18 kW). The top speed increased significantly to 95 km / h. The payload was still 350 kg for the pickup and 300 kg for the van version.

As part of a small facelift in April 1971, the Carry L40 received a 27 hp version of the well-known FB engine with Suzuki CCIS cylinder injection and Selmix lubrication system. This engine was also installed in the Suzuki LJ 80 off-road vehicle built between 1978 and 1982 . For the first time there was also a closed box van version, a pickup with a welded steel body and a camping van version. While the pickup version was replaced in May 1972, Suzuki continued production of the L40 van until August 1972.

Suzuki Carry L50 Van

The fifth generation L50 Carry debuted in May 1972, followed by a new Carry Van in August. The new model still sported the Giugiaro design, but now with no vent windows in the front doors, and the van / panel van now had a square rear body with a sliding side door and had a more traditional appearance. The headlights were now round, the maximum payload on the pickup was still 350 kg. The engine was similar to the previous one, but now water-cooled and now developed 28 hp (21 kW). From December 1972, a five-door van version with two sliding side doors was offered. In November 1973 the series received a minor facelift with a new radiator grille and modified front apron. The fifth generation of the Suzuki Carry became a huge market success.

In September 1975 a special export version was introduced for customers who wanted more performance. This additional L60 series received a larger (446 cm³) version of the L50 two-cylinder with now 29 hp, a stronger differential to transmit the increased torque, and more stable springs, which increased the payload to 550 kg. Minor changes were also made to accommodate larger number plates, and from December 1975 the domestic market engine only had 26 hp due to stricter emissions regulations.

Suzuki Carry ST10 / ST20 / ST80 1976–1979 (Indonesia until 1983)

6./7. generation
Suzuki Carry ST10
Production period:	1976-1979
Designs:	Box trucks , flatbed trucks
Engines:	Otto engine : 0.54-0.8 liters (22 kW)

In May 1976, as a reaction to the changed possibilities for the kei car class, the sixth generation Carry ST10, also known as the Carry 55 in export, appeared. It had a larger, water-cooled but still two-stroke three-cylinder engine with now 539 cc. Externally, the only difference to the predecessor was the slightly larger bumpers.

As early as September 1976, the ST10 pickup was replaced by the widened and extended ST20 version. The model now marketed as the Suzuki Carry Wide 550 had the maximum dimensions that were possible in the kei car class. In November the ST20 van appeared, which was 4 cm shorter than the pickup and had a completely new rear section. An ST20K pickup was also introduced in which not only the tailgate but also the side panels could be folded down.

In October 1977 there was a facelift with improved standard equipment and a radiator grille on all versions, with the exception of the standard pickup. In addition, the special export version ST80 was introduced. This version was the first carry with a four-stroke engine, the same as the 797 cc F8A engine introduced in the Suzuki LJ80 . This version was also built in China under the names Jilin JL 1010/6320/6330/6360 and as Kaixuan NJD 6330/6340 / NJD .

From February 1979, just two months before the start of the new series, a special minivan version appeared. This better-equipped version of the van had adjustable seats, chrome bumpers and was painted in metallic paints.

The Carry ST20 was produced in Indonesia with the two-stroke engine until 1983.

Suzuki Carry ST30 / 40/90 1979-1985

8th generation
Suzuki Carry ST40
Production period:	1979-1985
Designs:	Box trucks , flatbed trucks
Engines:	Petrol engine : 0.54-0.8 liters

In March 1979 the new Carry ST30 pickup came out. The dimensions were the same as before, as was the two-stroke engine, which was now moved from the rear under the front seat. From the time the ST30 was introduced, the Carry became the top-selling kei car truck in the domestic market for eight years in a row. The ST90 version with the larger four-stroke F8A engine with 797 cm³ was introduced for export. The Carry with the new 543 cm³ four-stroke engine F5A was available as Carry ST40 on the domestic market from October 1980. Even so, the two-stroke engine remained popular. An all-wheel drive version of the pickup was available from May 1981 and the Carry with the 797 cm³ engine variant was officially launched in Germany in the same year . From November 1982 all-wheel drive was also available for the van versions. The minivan became the Suzuki Every from December 1982 . For this there was only the four-stroke engine, as the two-stroke engine could not comply with the stricter emissions regulations for cars. At the same time, the series was revised with a new interior and front design. A limited slip differential was now also available, as was an optional air conditioning system for the Suzuki Every minivan, which was always exported as a carry van alongside the carry pickup panel van and minibus.

Suzuki Bolan and Suzuki Ravi since 1985

In Pakistan , Pak Suzuki Motors, a small subsidiary of Suzuki Motor Corporation, has been producing the Carry ST90 van as Suzuki Bolan with the three-cylinder F8B-796 carburettor engine with 37 hp (28 kW) since 1985 . The four-speed manual transmission enables a top speed of 120 km / h. The VXR variant, which is more luxurious than the VX, has air conditioning as standard. The pickup version of the ST90 is produced as the Suzuki Ravi .

Ford Pronto 1985-2007

Between 1985 and 2007, Ford Lio Ho produced the Ford Pronto in Taiwan . Ford Lio Ho is a joint venture between Ford and Lio Ho in Taiwan. The Pronto was also a license replica of the Carry ST90 and only available in Taiwan, where it competed as a minivan with the CMC Van , Mitsubishi Minicab and the Subaru Sambar . In 2007, Ford Lio Ho stopped production of the Pronto because the engine could no longer meet the stricter emissions regulations and the low margin meant that no new development was worthwhile.

Suzuki Super Carry Indonesia 1983-2008

In Indonesia , production of the ST90 Carry began in 1983 as the Suzuki Super Carry with a 970 cc petrol engine with 44 hp (32 kW). However, at 3700 mm, it was a little longer and ten centimeters wider. Together with the even larger Carry Futura (see below) it was produced until 1991 and then received a facelift, along with the introduction of the Daihatsu Zebra's 1.3 liter engine . Until 2008, this only 3.29 m × 1.78 m × 1.39 m (L × H × W) small bus version with six seats and a van version was built.

Since 1984 the Suzuki subsidiary Maruti has been building the Carry ST90 in India as the Maruti Omni.

Suzuki Carry ST90 in China

In China , the Carry ST90 is built by Changan as the Chang'an Stern SC 1010/1011/1014/6320/6331 . Further offshoots are the Anchi MC , Changhe CH , Hanjiang SFJ , Songhuajiang HFJ and Feihu HH . The motorization of these licensed buildings mostly differs from the original Suzuki version.

The ninth generation of carry appeared in March 1985. In the new model, the roof of the van version was raised by a few centimeters to ensure a more comfortable standing height. The chassis codes were DA / DB71 for the 543 cc van (panel van / minibus) models (DB with all-wheel drive) and DA81 for the 539 cc two-stroke pickup, which remained available until the carry pickup in July 1986 appeared with the new front. The empty weight is given as 600–780 kg.

On the home market there was now a sister model as Autozam Scrum or Mazda Scrum .

• From May 1989 there was a more modern 547 cc multi-valve engine, which was marketed as the Carry DA / DB41.
• Changed kei car regulations brought a facelift with a slightly rounder body and the 657 cm³ 0.7 liter gasoline engine with 38 hp (28 kW) and 58 hp (43 kW) with a turbocharger . This version was marketed as the Carry DA / DB51. The performance of the smaller version rose to 42 HP (31 kW) in March 1991. The tenth Carry generation appeared just six months later.

Suzuki Carry or Super Carry 1985–1999 export model

In export, the ninth Carry series was equipped with the 797 cm³ four-cylinder Suzuki F8A and as a Super Carry with the F10A 970 cm³ four-cylinder engine. The power was 37 and 45 hp or 27.5 and 33 kW. This enabled top speeds of 110 and 115 km / h to be achieved. The export model had stronger bumpers and the overall length increased by 100 mm to 3295 mm.

Although a new version was available in the domestic market as early as 1991, mostly the Super Carry from Indonesian production was marketed for export from 1991 to 1999. Here he had the 1.3 liter four-cylinder with 57 kW from the Suzuki Samurai .

The tenth generation Carry (DC / DD51 Pickup) (DE / DF51V Van) appeared in September 1991. It was also produced again as Autozam and Mazda Scrum, but hardly exported. The only available engine was the 657 cc F6A naturally aspirated engine of the previous generation with a 5-speed manual or 3- speed automatic transmission . The body was completely new, appeared much smoother, and originally had small rectangular headlights. The chassis of the pickup was largely unchanged, but with a slightly longer wheelbase. Overall, this series had a significantly longer wheelbase, and the engine was now mounted just in front of the rear axle. In addition to rear-wheel drive, there was also an all-wheel drive version. The curb weight is given as 650–720 kg.

In 1993 there was a facelift with fashionable round headlights and was built until 1999. Later problems with the De-Dion rear axle arose with the pickup variant, which was not so suitable for carrying heavy loads. Many customers therefore kept the previous and usually more robust version for longer.

Width:	1475 mm
Height:	1755-1800 mm
Wheelbase:	1905-2350 mm

In January 1999 the 11th generation Carry appeared as a pickup. There was no longer a separate van or minibus version, but was derived from the Suzuki Every . Only the Mazda Scrum was marketed under one name in all body variants; there was no longer an Autozam model. Outside of Asia, the new generation, like its predecessor, was no longer offered. The engine was again the F6A-SOHC-657 cm³ naturally aspirated engine with and without turbocharger , which was now installed as a front engine, as before with a 5-speed manual gearbox and 3-speed automatic gearbox and optionally with all-wheel drive instead of front-wheel drive. The curb weight is given as 650–780 kg.

• Since the loading length was shorter than that of competing models, this was extended from November 1999 by reducing the driver's cab. New emissions regulations resulted in the discontinuation of the 657 cm³ version without turbo. At the same time, a start-stop system was introduced.
• From May 2000, a radio was also standard in the standard model, and the engine was also equipped with charge air cooling .
• In September 2001, the K6A all-aluminum DOHC petrol engine was also introduced, rust prevention was improved, new, smaller rims were installed to minimize the turning radius, and the series was also given a newly designed instrument panel.
• May 2002 brought a revised version with a wider cabin. At the same time, separately replaceable body parts were introduced in order to minimize the effects of minor damage and to achieve lower insurance rates. The shape of the rear lights used since 1979 was also changed and a low-floor version was introduced with a ground clearance of 605 mm.
• From November 2005 there was a version with a short wheelbase, with the 4WD versions an electric differential lock and manual headlight range control.
• In 2008 the engines were revised to meet the stricter emission standards.
• A facelift model appeared in April 2009.
• October 2011 brought a special model for the 50th birthday of the Carry. The 50th birthday edition had air conditioning, power steering, textile seat covers (water-repellent) and a sound system in all versions, the 4WD versions also had automatic differential locks. All vehicles in this special edition had a special emblem on the interior.

From May 2012, the Carry was equipped with improved seat belts, seat adjustability and enlarged headrests. In response to new rules from January 2013, the rear reflectors had redesigned reflectors and a rear fog light.

Suzuki Super Carry 1999-2005 Europe

The Super Carry, which was exported to Europe from 1999, was based on the Suzuki Every III and was only offered as a panel van or minibus. The import was discontinued in 2005, earlier in some markets.

Engines:	Otto engine : 0.66 liters (51 kW)
Length:	3395 mm
Width:	1475 mm
Height:	1765 mm
Wheelbase:	1905 mm

The 12th carry generation has been available in the home market since August 2013. The drive is taken over by the 0.6 liter R06A DOHC petrol engine with variable valve control and 37 kW (50 hp) output at 5700 rpm. In addition to the front-wheel drive, there is also a 4WD version and a choice of 5-speed manual or 3-speed automatic transmission. Only the short version of the predecessor is available as a wheelbase. However, by moving the driver's cab further forward, a longer loading length of 2030 mm was achieved compared to the previous short version. The loading area is now easier to load with pallets thanks to the better side design. Improved steps prevent slipping both when accessing the loading compartment and the driver's cab. As with the predecessor, bolt-on body panels are used to keep repairs simple and inexpensive. The rust measures have been strengthened, more than 95% of the body consists of galvanized sheet metal, including on the frame. The curb weight is given as 680–740 kg.

Improvements to the engine with now less coolant required and other measures resulted in a weight reduction of 50 kg, which could also improve fuel efficiency. A driver airbag is now fitted as standard, as are halogen headlights, multi-reflector type, with improved light distribution, CD player (AM / FM radio), 2 front speakers, electric windows, keyless entry , textile seat covers, door pocket (Driver and front passenger), exterior mirrors and door handles painted in body color and power steering. The 4WD now has an automatically switchable differential lock. A front passenger airbag, anti-lock braking system , front seat belt tensioner and automatic air conditioning are available as options for all models .

There will also be a Mazda Scrum model again. After Mitsubishi Motors had decided to withdraw from the production of light commercial vehicles ( Mitsubishi Minicab ) and thus also Nissan was affected with the Nissan Clipper NV / NT 100 , Mitsubishi and Nissan concluded contracts with Suzuki for the delivery of the 12th Carry generation and the " Suzuki Every " generation based on it as badge engineering models, which are to come on the market in 2014.

Suzuki Carry Futura and Suzuki Futura since 1983, Mitsubishi Colt T120SS since 1991

The Suzuki Carry Futura was introduced in Indonesia in 1983 . The wheelbase of the model, which is only available as a pickup, was initially 1970 mm, the maximum length 3875 mm and the width 1570 mm. The body largely corresponded to the Suzuki Carry ST30 / 40/90. However, it had a 1360 cc gasoline engine.

A modernized version was produced from 1991, which has since been available with a 1590 cm³ petrol engine. Since then, the standard model has a length of 3720 mm to 3940 mm for the largest variant.

The model is by means of the Indonesian market rebadging of Mitsubishi Motors as Mitsubishi Colt T120 SS offered. Mitsubishi replaced the first generation of this model series, which was based on the first generation Mitsubishi Delica . In addition to the emblems, the Mitsubishi model differs through the use of its own engines. Either the Mitsubishi 1.3 liter (1343 cm³) carburettor engine type 4G17 with 78 hp (57 kW) or the larger 1.5 liter (1468 cm³) injection engine type 4G15 with 86 hp (63 kW) are used. Both engines have three valves per cylinder. The Colt T120 SS is also produced as a bare chassis for bodies and as a pickup with fixed side walls or a pickup with foldable side walls.

In 2008 both models received a facelift with a modernized front.
