How Does the Suzuki APV’s Suspension Handle Heavy Loads on Pakistan’s Uneven Roads?

The Suzuki APV is designed to carry multiple passengers and luggage, but how does its suspension, combined with its weight of 1,350 kg, cope with heavy loads on Pakistan’s rough roads? Does the vehicle’s suspension system struggle with stability o r comfort when carrying a full load, particularly on bumpy o r poorly maintained roads?

The Suzuki APV is designed as a 7-seater with a focus on comfort, but its suspension system can be challenged when carrying heavy loads on Pakistan’s uneven roads.

Suspension and Load Handling: The APVs soft suspension is designed to provide comfort, but it can struggle under heavy loads. When carrying a full load of passengers o r additional cargo, the rear suspension can sag, leading to reduced ground clearance and possibly scraping the undercarriage on rough roads.
Impact on Uneven Terrain: On uneven roads, especially in rural o r semi-urban areas, the vehicle’s suspension may not perform optimally under heavy loads. This can lead to bouncy rides, poor stability, and even straining of suspension components like shock absorbers and springs.
Conclusion: The APV’s suspension handles light to moderate loads well, but heavy loads on rough roads can reduce ride comfort and affect the vehicles stability. Regular use under heavy loads may also lead to quicker suspension wear.
