Suzuki Philippines has expanded its Carry commercial vehicle lineup with two versions intended for passenger transport and public-service work.

The Carry PUV Class 1 has a suggested retail price of P849,000, while the Carry Patrol Van is priced at P822,000.

Both models use the Carry platform but have different body layouts and equipment based on their intended duties.

The PUV Class 1 has a side entrance with removable doors and a canvas cover. Its wide windows come with roll-up canvas panels, while side-facing seats and high headroom provide space for passengers.

A fire extinguisher is also included. Suzuki said the model has been certified by the Department of Transportation (DoTr) under Certificate of Conformity No. 202509-00C1GE.

The passenger version complies with PNS 2131:2018, the Philippine National Standard that sets dimensional requirements for Class 1 public utility vehicles. Suzuki lists transport cooperatives, resorts, local government units and other organizations among its possible users.

The Carry Patrol Van has a different body and equipment package for community patrols and similar field duties. It comes with a reversible seat, checkered-plate flooring and roll-up canvas covers with locks.

An embedded side step helps passengers enter and leave the rear section. The service equipment includes a siren, public-address system and blinker, while the cabin and rear compartment provide a total of 10 seats, including the driver’s position.

The two models have separate priorities despite sharing the same compact commercial vehicle base.The PUV Class 1 concentrates on passenger access and interior space, while the Patrol Van has equipment suited to patrol and community-assistance work.

Suzuki cites DoTr certification for the PUV Class 1 only. The Patrol Van is offered as a service vehicle and not as a public transport configuration.

Both versions use the Carry’s 1,462-cc four-cylinder gasoline engine. It produces 71 kilowatts at 5,600 revolutions per minute and 135 Newton-meters of torque at 4,400 revolutions per minute. The engine is paired with a five-speed manual transmission.

The Carry also has 160 millimeters of ground clearance and a minimum turning radius of 4.4 meters.

Its compact size is suited to work on narrow streets and in areas where a larger van may be more difficult to maneuver.

Suzuki already sells the Carry locally in cab-and-chassis, dropside and cargo van configurations. The addition of the PUV Class 1 and Patrol Van gives institutional customers two factory-listed body choices for passenger and public-service duties.

The fitted equipment is included in the suggested retail prices, which may reduce the additional conversion work required after purchase.

Buyers can also choose a Carry configuration that is already arranged for the job instead of starting with a basic commercial body.
