Suzuki Carry Face-Lift Kit and Retro Styling

The Suzuki Carry face-lift kit gives the DA16T a clean retro look inspired by the classic Sunny Truck. Unlike a more dramatic show build, this version keeps the styling simple, balanced, and easy to appreciate in everyday use.The Carry featured here takes a simpler approach, using only Fusion’s face-lift kit for a cleaner and more standard-looking finish. The Sunny Truck that inspired it was the second-generation model, a long-selling vehicle produced from 1971 to 2008. Because it used a front-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout, it earned a long-lasting reputation as a lightweight, compact truck that was both useful and enjoyable to drive. That legacy is exactly why it was chosen as the theme for the second stage of Fusion’s face-change series. 

With its steel-style bumper, round headlights, and oval grille, the conversion captures the character of the Sunny Truck in a way that feels surprisingly natural. Rather than looking exaggerated or overly theatrical, it has the kind of balance that allows it to blend into everyday street scenes with ease. That is part of what makes this version especially appealing for readers who appreciate retro design but do not necessarily want a heavily customized show build. 

Unlike the National-color Carry, which was based on the post-facelift model, this vehicle was built on a pre-facelift Suzuki Carry. The ride height also remains stock, giving it a more restrained and accessible feel. Even so, it is not completely untouched: the truck wears Longchamp wheels, and the tires have been upsized slightly to 165/55-14, adding just enough attitude without taking away from the clean overall look. 

What makes this Carry interesting is not just how it looks now, but how much potential it suggests. The front end already gives the truck a completely different character, yet it still feels like a solid starting point for further personalization. Whether the owner wants to keep it simple or build it into something more expressive over time, the Sunny-style face opens the door to another side of the Suzuki Carry’s appeal.
