The fifth generation L50 Carry truck debuted in May 1972, followed by a new Carry van in August.
The new model echoes Giugiaro's design, but without ventilation windows in the front doors and with a more traditional appearance.
Headlights are now round, while the van version receives a more square rear body and with a sliding rear side door.
The engine is a water-cooled design (L50), otherwise similar to the previous engine but now with 28 hp (21 kW).
Max load was back up to 350 kg (770 lb).

In December 1972, a five-door van (L50VF, with sliding side doors) was added.
Three months later, the dropside L51 went on sale.
In November 1973, the Carry underwent a minor facelift, receiving a new grille and modified front bumper.
The interior was also updated, with a new dashboard and finally hanging gas and clutch pedals.
The fifth generation Carry led Suzuki to great market success, with Suzuki selling more kei trucks than all others during 1973 and 1974.

In September 1975, a special export version was introduced, aimed at customers who wanted more loading ability.
The new L60 series received a larger, 446 cc (also L60) version of the L50 two-cylinder.
29 PS (as opposed to 26 for export market 360 cc models), a stronger differential "to transmit the generous torque" and sturdier springs meant load capacity increased to 550 kg (1,210 lb).
For 1975, the Carry received minor changes allowing for the fitment of new larger license plates.
In December 1975, the domestic market L50s' engine lost two horsepower (down to 26) in the effort of fulfilling new, stricter emissions standards.
