Suzuki Carry gets new PUV Class 1 and Patrol Van variants
Suzuki Philippines is expanding the lineup of its Carry light commercial vehicle (LCV) with two new purpose-built variants–the Carry PUV Class 1 and Carry Patrol Van–designed for specialized transport and mobility, and government uses.
These two new variants are built on the versatile Suzuki Carry platform which has been available in the Philippines since the Japanese automaker entered the market in 1988, while the nameplate itself has been in existence since 1961.
Starting with the Suzuki Carry PUV Class 1, this is priced at Php 849,000 and is designed for passenger transport. It features a side entrance with removable doors and canvas cover, wide windows with roll-up canvas, side-facing seats, and a taller height for more headroom. It also comes with a fire extinguisher.
On the other hand, the Suzuki Carry Patrol Van is priced at Php 822,000. It’s designed to support the mobility and operational requirements of government sectors such as LGUs, barangays, and also other organizations requiring a dedicated patrol or service vehicle, with a seating capacity for 10 occupants (including the driver).
Features of the Suzuki Carry Patrol Van includes a reversible seat, checkered plate flooring, roll-up canvas covers with locks, embedded side step, and a siren with PA system and blinker. The Patrol Van provides seating for 10 passengers including the driver.
Just like the rest of the Suzuki Carry lineup, the PUV Class 1 and Patrol Van variants are powered by a 1.5-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine that produces 97 horsepower and 135Nm of torque, mated exclusively to a five-speed manual transmission.
