The Suzuki Swift is designed as a compact hatchback, mostly suited for urban roads. However, Pakistani roads, especially in smaller cities and rural areas, can be quite rough. Common complaints about the suspension include:

Stiff Ride: Swift’s suspension is on the stiffer side, making the ride uncomfortable on bumpy roads.

Quick Wear and Tear: Frequent potholes and speed breakers cause shock absorbers and bushings to wear out faster.

Low Ground Clearance: The car sometimes scrapes over speed breakers when fully loaded.
To mitigate issues, avoid overloading, drive slowly over rough patches, and get suspension parts checked every 20,000 km o r if unusual noises occur.
