Overview
In December 1982, the Van portion of the Carry range became separated in the Japanese domestic market and was now sold as the Suzuki Every. The Every was only available with the four-stroke engine, as the two-stroke could not pass the tighter emissions standards for passenger cars. A four-wheel drive van version was added in November 1982. In the domestic market Every powered by a 543 cc four-stroke F5A engine.
