Suzuki has built twelve, yes, twelve, generations of the Carry, affectionately known as the "Half Loaf". It's been so successful for the company, particularly in third world markets, that countries such as India built the seventh generation for 25 years straight.
It's a timeless design and in this video, Ciro De Siena was delighted to finally drive one, alongside the brand new Carry, or as it is being sold in South Africa, the EECO Van.
Driving the two cars back-to-back was particularly illuminating and in some ways, the original from 1989 had the newcomer bested.
And so, Ciro set out to answer the question, should you buy a Suzuki EECO Van? And can the new generation ever be as lovable as it's predecessor?
We'd love to know your thoughts and we hope you'll join us in the comments section.

Welcome back Sir Ciro, good to see you back in circulation, hope you enjoyed your leave. On the EECO, im surprised it has stability control,that is some fancy tech for a cargo van. But its kind of needed as its light, high of the ground and has skinny tyres. Also surprised is has the k12 engine, in other markets the commercial vehicles either get the K15 or M16A, but hey, its a step up from the old Alto engine. Also love the fact they just ripped the centre dash from the Spresso.

These look amazing and this review captures the spirit of these vehicles quite well 😂 suzuki just knows how to make simple cars that'll put a smile on your face. I bought super carry as my main mode of transport as I wanted a bakkie that was also rear wheel drive and it didn't disappoint 😂 hands down the most fun vehicle I have driven. My commute was 75km every single day driving on the N1 at 120km/h most of the time (more like 110km/h actual speed) and it returned an average of about 7.5l/100 on average. The lowest I've ever seen the fuel consumption was 6.8l/100km while using the ouma technique. The super carry does have the G12B motor which is different to the eeco and the eeco should most certainly be slightly more fuel efficient but I don't think it'll get much better than 6.5l/100km if driven properly 🤔

I'm so glad you guys did a review on the Eeco. I've been quietly obsessing over it ever since I recently saw it on the road. I want one, not for commercial reasons, but as more of a lifestyle van. I was wondering about the interior, but it appears to be more or less what I expected. Now seriously considering buying one! Thanks for sharing your views. 🩷

3:36 You've to be specific for the "1.2l, 4cyl gas engine" though, some markets get 1196cc G-series while others get 1197cc K-series, one on this video probably is the K12N(detuned to 82ps). Eeco also came with a family car version getting 1.3l 1298cc G13BB engine making 85bhp & 113Nm torque much like the K12M(82-86bhp, & 113/115Nm torque) engine.

fabulous little van - honest and superbly practical ! Great value for money if you don't want the considerable costs of bakkie ownership - none of them are cheap to keep on the road ! even more so when you think of how expensive almost every other van on the market is !

Hi .....i dont think wider wheels would fit because of the front struts .... maybe a 175 wide 13 inch alloy wheel would be the biggest.......this would make a great microcamper🤫.....the service plan isnt really a big issue its super cheap to maintain first 4 years is basically oil changes.

Unfortunately it doesn't exist, at least not in South Africa or in India. Interestingly a similar model exists in Japan with both 4WD and Automatic as optional features, and can be imported to South Africa as Japan also keeps to the Left and has the Steering Wheel on the Right.
