The earlier Suzuki Carry’s were fitted with 0.4-liter 2 stroke engines, later replaced by engines that range between 0.6 liters and 1.5 liters. The output power of these engines ranged between 63 hp and 95 hp. These engines transferred power to the wheels via a 3-speed automatic, 4-speed automatic, 4-speed manual, or 5-speed manual transmission.

But credit should be given to Suzuki’s engineers for the wise utilization of the available space. The dashboard is ergonomically designed and comes with storage places.
