Over 70,000 Maruti Suzuki Super Carry LCVs Were Sold In Last 4 Years

The Maruti Suzuki Super Carry Light Commercial Vehicle (LCV) has crossed the 70,000 sales milestone in India. Maruti Suzuki forayed into the commercial segment in 2016 with Super Carry, and the company was able to achieve this feat in just four years. In fact, the company says that the Super Carry LCV currently hold a 20 per cent market share in the mini truck segment. Maruti sells the mini truck in both petrol and petrol+CNG variants, and it was the first LCV in this space to get a BS6 compliant engine, along with a dual fuel S-CNG variant with a 5-litre petrol tank.

Speaking on the milestone, Shashank Srivastava, Executive Director (Marketing & Sales), Maruti Suzuki India Limited, said, "Specifically engineered for the Indian mini truck customer who values superior mileage, Super Carry has fulfilled its promises. Being the 1st LCV launched with a BS6 petrol variant offering a powerful 1196 cc 4-cylinder dumdaar engine, it has found wide acceptance. Super Carry has created a niche for itself within a short span and has become the second best-selling Mini-Truck in the Light Commercial Vehicle Market. The diverse customer base stands testament for the success of Super Carry. We take this opportunity to thank all our trusted buyers for their unflinching support to reach this milestone."
