Suzuki Every & kei van export buyer's guide

The Suzuki Every and its kei-van rivals, the Daihatsu Hijet and Honda N-Van, are tiny commercial vehicles built to move goods cheaply through tight urban streets. With a 660cc engine and compact body, they offer remarkable load space for their size and minimal running costs.

For small traders, couriers and shops, the appeal is pure economics: low purchase price, excellent fuel economy and easy parking where larger vans cannot go. The flat floor and tall roof swallow surprising volumes of cargo.

These vans are simple and durable, with cheap parts and easy servicing, which keeps them earning for years. Both van and pickup-style kei trucks are available depending on whether you need enclosed or open load space.

Import eligibility varies, as some markets restrict very small engines or specific commercial body types, so confirm your national rules first. Where permitted, a kei van is one of the cheapest ways to put a working vehicle on the road.
