Maruti Suzuki is certainly the biggest passenger car maker of the country. From last several years Maruti Suzuki was planing to launch its first light commercial vehicle ‘Super Carry pick up’ in India but the plan delayed due to some technical reasons in India.

The vehicle has a ground clearance of 175 mm, which enables it to run on a bit rough road as well. Turning radius of the Maruti Suzuki Super carry is 3.8 meters. The vehicle has a twin door single compartment which can capacitated three persons including the driver.
Power source for Maruti Suzuki Super Carry is a 1.2 litre GB14 four cylinder multi point fuel injection petrol engine which is paired with a 5 speed manual gearbox. The powertrain is capable to churn out 72 bhp of peak power at 6000 rpm and 101 Nm of peak torque at 3000 rpm. Suzuki claims this vehicle is the most fuel economic model in its class.
The India spec Super Carry will feature a smaller 0.8 litre twin cylinder fuel efficient engine which works under the hood of the Maruti Suzuki Celerio.
