In-game description

"Japan's kei-cars are a unique category of ultra-compact vehicles that deliver surprising capability with a modest footprint. This class spans everything from SUVs to nimble sports cars, even including "kei-trucks" like the Suzuki Carry. Although the series dates back more than six decades, the model here is from 2012, from the tenth generation introduced in 1999. Measuring just 3.4 meters in length, it's surprisingly capable, and its 658 cc engine delivers ample torque, even under load. Today, used Carrys are finding homes beyond Japan's borders, a sign of growing global apperication of the kei-car's appeal."

―In-game description of the car, from GT7's Brand Central

Japan's micro-car segment, known domestically as kei-cars, has become an essential part of daily life across the country. While the category includes everything from passenger vehicles and mini-SUVs to sports cars, it also plays a critical role in supporting infrastructure through a wide range of commercial vans and trucks. The Suzuki Carry stands as a quintessential example of the commercial kei truck.

First introduced in 1961, the Carry boasts a long and storied history. The tenth generation was introduced in 1999 following a full model change to comply with revised kei-car regulations introduced the previous year. The model shown here is from 2012, marking the final iteration of the tenth-generation model.

Compared to its predecessor, the new Carry featured a slightly larger footprint, measuring 133.7 inches in length and 58.1 inches in width. Its semi-cabover design placed the engine beneath the occupants' feet. Displacement remained within the kei-class limit at 658 cc, with early variants even offering turbocharged options.

To accommodate a variety of needs, the Carry was offered in several trim levels. The KC—its most well-equipped—came standard with power steering and air conditioning. While rear-wheel drive was standard, a 4-wheel-drive variant ensured that it was at home on snowy roads and rugged terrain as it was on the highway.

Beyond its utilitarian function, the Carry's charming design and remarkable practicality garnered international attention. In the United States, pre-owned Carrys—eligible for road use 25 years after their original release—have become increasingly popular among farmers and hobbyists alike. Compact yet capable, the Carry is a testament to the ingenuity of Japanese design and its ability to resonate around the world.

Trivia

• At 7,600 Credits, it is the cheapest car available for purchase in GT7 (ignoring free cars such as the AFEELA Prototype 2024 and the Toyota Ambulance Himedic '21). Prior to the Carry's addition, the previous record holder was the Gran Turismo Racing Kart 125 Shifter, which was priced at 10,000 Credits.
• In GT Auto, the options for the rear cab differ depending on whether the car has been widebodied or not, similar to the Mercedes-Benz Unimog Type 411 '62:
  • Without a widebody, Type A is a transport box and Type B is a ramen stall.
  • With a widebody, Type A and Type B removes the rear cab entirely, with Type B also adding roll cages.
• A similar customization to non-wide Type B, the ramen stall, previously appeared in Initial D the Arcade for that game's older Suzuki Carry, added to the aforementioned game a month prior to this Carry's addition to GT7.
• In GT Auto, the Type B plate option installs the 危 (meaning "danger") sign/plate. This sign is usually displayed on real life Japanese cars if the car carries potentially hazardous material.
