The Suzuki Alto’s small size and light weight may pose certain safety challenges in Pakistan, especially when driving on highways o r in areas with dense traffic:

Crash Safety: The small size of the Alto means it may not offer the same level of protection in collisions compared to larger, heavier vehicles. In the event of a crash, particularly a high-speed collision, the Alto may suffer more significant damage due to its smaller frame and lighter build.
Vulnerability on Highways: On highways o r busy roads, the Alto’s size can make it more vulnerable to accidents with larger vehicles, which may not notice it as easily in blind spots. Crosswinds o r heavy truck traffic may also cause instability at higher speeds.
City Safety: In urban environments, the Alto’s small size can be an advantage in terms of maneuverability, allowing it to avoid potential collisions and fit into tight spaces. However, its low height may pose challenges in protecting occupants in certain types of accidents e.g., side-impact crashes.
To enhance safety:

Owners should drive cautiously, especially on highways, and avoid high-speed driving.
Installing additional safety features such as parking sensors, o r opting for models with advanced safety systems, can improve overall safety.
