Does the Suzuki Swift’s weight affect its fuel efficiency in Pakistani road conditions?

The lightweight nature of the Swift around 850–1000 kg is often praised for improving fuel efficiency. However, does the cars lower weight make it feel less planted o r result in greater wear on suspension components, especially when the car is overloaded o r driven on rough roads? How does this weight impact fuel consumption in Pakistans diverse road conditions?

The lightweight nature of the Swift approximately 850–1000 kg is one of the reasons for its good fuel economy in urban areas and on highways. In Pakistan, the Swifts fuel efficiency is an advantage due to:

Low weight, which requires less engine power to move, allowing for better fuel consumption around 12-14 km/l in the city and 16-18 km/l on highways.

Better handling in tight city traffic, where agility and quick acceleration are needed.
However, its lightweight design can also make it feel less stable on rough roads, especially when the car is overloaded o r in poor weather conditions.
Solution: In areas with poorly paved roads o r in heavy rain, Swift owners can sometimes face suspension wear if the car is frequently overloaded. Maintaining the suspension system and regularly checking tyre pressure can ensure efficient performance and comfort.
