Suzuki brings all-new Super Carry to PH
Suzuki Philippines (SPH), pio- neer manufacturer of compact vehicles, officially launched its all-new Super Carry at the Megatent in Quezon City last week.
The Super Carry will be competing in the utility commercial vehicle segment.
“Super Carry is brought to the Philippine market with the objective of improving business processes and operations especially among small and medium sized businesses which comprise more than 90 percent of the overall in the country,” said Shuzo Hoshikura, SPH general manager for Automobile.
Built to endure the toughest of conditions, the Super Carry is designed to address the evergrowing number of issues faced by micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMES) in the country.
Equipped with strength, high quality performance, superior loading capacity, and a Euro-4 certified diesel engine, Super Carry is meant to serve as a perfect fit for any kind of business requirement while caring for the environment.
High performance
Offering superior loading capacity with an area of 3.25 sqm and a maximum capacity of 735 kg, Super Carry is equipped with a light steering wheel and a low turning radius of 4.3 meters, which allows effortless driving no matter how heavy the cargo is, and ensures easy maneuverability even in tight areas.
The latest automotive technologies in the 793 cc, 2-cylinder and DDis Euro-4 diesel engine with 5 speed manual transmission, a peak power of 32 hp at 3,500 rpm and torque of 75 Nm at 2,000 rpm makes the vehicle more cost efficient and ecofriendly than others of the same caliber.
The Super Carry consumes a mere liter of diesel for an average distance of 22.07 km, which makes going around for errands less costly and more practical.
The new engine is also equipped with an engine control module (ECM) that monitors its condition during servicing to ensure continuous peak performance.
It complies with the latest regulations on emissions standards, and exhibits lower emissions than Euro-2 engines at 68 percent less particulate matter, 57 percent less nitrogen oxides, and 50 percent less carbon monoxide, for a more environment-friendly driving.
Comfort and convenience
The designers of the Super Carry gave careful thought to the comfort and convenience of the driver and passengers by enhancing both the vehicle’s interior and cabin features.
With the driver seat adjustable up to 90 mm, coupled with the extended portion of the passenger seat, there is enough legroom and space for the driver to lie down and com- bat fatigue in between long drives.
The cabin also features numerous cubbyholes, trays, pockets and storage spaces for documents, food items and other necessities.
Underneath the seats are thick glass fiber heat shields for better insulation.
The bulb/balloon type weather strip in the Super Carry also lessens noise, vibration and harshness (NVH).
To add to the driving comfort, its pedals, gear shift knob and instrument panels are all ergonomically positioned.
The vehicle’s rear window is also bigger and can readily be opened with an ergonomically placed locking mechanism. This allows a large amount of air to flow inside the cabin when needed.
Safety and security
Fitted with theft prevention measures, Super Carry features a lock-on fuel tank cap, a secured spare tire mounting bracket, and battery with provision of lock.
Inside the cabin, the seats are equipped with a 3-point Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR) seatbelt.
The Super Carry ensures superior braking performance via a front ventilated disk brake for better heat dissipation, plus drum brakes on the rear featuring load sensing proportioning valves (LSPV) for stabilized braking in different load conditions.
Sealing the deal are the high tensile and galvanized chassis materials used in the Super Carry. The galvanized materials provide more resistance to rust, while high tensile materials limit intrusion inside the cabin.
Its integrated sheet metal body front panel enhances body quality and rigidity, as well as, ensures the driver’s safety. This is complemented up front with a bigger windscreen for better driver visibility.
Accessories
The Super Carry has a 1 din audio unit with built-in speaker featuring AM/FM tuning, USB/SD interface, auxiliary input and LCD display will make driving the Super Carry more enjoyable.
