The Super Carry is currently only available with the diesel engine
The Super Carry is available with a diesel engine in the country and this 793cc twin-cylinder diesel engine that made its debut on the Celerio last year and comes paired to a 5-speed manual transmission. However, the diesel variant will be discontinued as it would not comply with the upcoming BS6 norms. The company will therefore only offer it with the petrol and the CNG variant, which according to the company will be great for its consumers.
Shashank Srivastava, Executive Director (Marketing and Sales), Maruti Suzuki India said, "The Light Commercial Vehicle segment has been the largest volume contributor in the commercial vehicle industry in the country. Globally, Suzuki Motor Corporation has expertise in this segment and the Super Carry is part of that lineage. Super Carry for India has been developed specifically keeping in mind the unique requirements of the Indian mini truck customer. Starting the commercial segment with Super Carry, we have rapidly rolled out our network to keep pace with the growing demand and business opportunity for light commercial vehicles. With the growth in entrepreneurship and businesses, we see a continuous requirement of Light commercial vehicles for various business applications."
