Maruti Suzuki Super Carry Gets BS6 Compliance

Maruti Suzuki’s 4-wheeler, open cabin commercial vehicle, the Super Carry, has been updated with slight changes to the truck’s dimensions, fuel tank capacity, and engine specifications. The Super Carry is now compliant with the latest BS6 emissions norms and is available in both petrol and CNG variants.

Although the vehicle gets a price hike over the outgoing BS4 model, the Maruti Suzuki Super Carry on-road price is still kept at par with industry standards, making for a lucrative deal for potential customers.

What are the Changes in Specifications?

The 1.2-liter BS6 petrol engine in the Super Carry produces 54 kW and 98 Nm of max. power and torque, similar to before. The 1.2-liter BS6 CNG engine produces slightly lower power and torque figures at 48 kW and 85 Nm, respectively, but delivers a superior fuel efficiency. Both engine options come mated with a 5-speed manual transmission and the Super Carry gets ventilated disk brakes in the front, drum brakes in the rear, as is standard for an accurate and safe braking performance.

 

What Makes the Super Carry an Attractive Option?

The fuel tank capacity of the vehicle is 30 liters, and it gets a top speed of 80 Km/h, which ensures quicker turnaround time, more trips, and greater profits. The large loading tray can accommodate high volumes of cargo and thanks to the adjustable deck, loading and unloading of goods is really easy with the Super Carry. It comes with leaf spring suspension, which is strong, powerful, and stable and increases the load bearing capacity of the vehicle.

It offers a broad wheel-base that provides stability for heavy loads and a smoother ride. The car-like gear shifts and steering wheel are also light and smooth, offering greater control and comfort, and the compact turning radius makes it easy to maneuver through narrow lanes and city traffic. Driver comfort is also taken care of with a heat resistant, long and sliding, single seat that can be adjusted as per your preferences, in a roomy cabin with loads of leg space.

The Maruti Suzuki Carry on-road price starts at around 4.7 lakhs (ex-showroom, Delhi) and is completely worth it given the numerous features it has to offer.

The BS-6 Compliant Ertiga: Now Even More Practical to Own

The second-generation Maruti Suzuki Ertiga is a surprisingly capable 7-seater MPV that offers a lot for its price in terms of space and practicality. One of India’s most popular and most trusted MPVs, the Ertiga has always been a great choice for large families and fleet owners alike who are looking for more than average space in a car in a budget.

Power at its Core

The Ertiga’s dimensions and controls make it a pleasure to drive. It can reach high speeds and offers great performance for a car of its size. In 2020, Maruti Suzuki discontinued the diesel variants of the Ertiga in India in-line with the company’s commitments towards manufacturing BS-6 compliant cars.

The K15 1.5L petrol engine, that complies with BS-6 emissions norms, is engineered to deliver a remarkable performance while ensuring a pleasurable driving experience. With 77 kW max power, it is a pleasantly refined and efficient car and gets the job done. The all-new engine is offered in both the manual and automatic transmission cars. The Ertiga automatic car delivers an excellent fuel efficiency of 17.99 Km/l while the manual variant delivers 19.01 Km/l. The 5-spped manual gearbox is quite functional, while the automatic transmission of the car adds increased convenience to the whole experience. All the variants of the Ertiga are offered with the Smart Hybrid technology that further increases its fuel efficiency.

Sculpted to Stand Out

The new Ertiga dons an elegant, premium look with noticeable body lines and an aerodynamic nose. The chrome studded front grille and the multi spoke alloy wheels look stunning on the Ertiga, and the front projector headlamps along with LED tail lamps steal the show. To the typical buyer, however, the interior of the Ertiga sparks more interest. The Ertiga offers functional and flexible space for up to 7 adults, with the third row being habitable by someone other than kids as well.

The sculpted dual-tone dashboard looks really premium with wooden trims, so does the flat-bottom steering wheel; the car offers all the features you need for a comfortable and convenient drive with your family. For increased comfort, the Ertiga also offers AC vents for the second row, headrests for all the three rows, power charging sockets, and ample storage space throughout the car. For entertainment on the go, Ertiga comes with the SmartPlay infotainment system with multi-source connectivity.

Safety is also taken care of in the all-inclusive Ertiga. Based on the HEARTECT platform, new generation Ertiga gets improved safety, rigidity, and NVH performance. It gets dual airbags and ABS with EBD as a standard apart from rear parking sensors, child seat anchors and high speed-alert.
