Why Does My Suzuki Khyber Get Dents So Easily Compared to Newer Cars?

Many Suzuki Khyber owners in Pakistan feel that the body gets dented very easily even with light contact. Is the sheet metal used in Khyber thinner o r weaker than newer cars, and what can be done to protect it?

The Suzuki Khyber was built using relatively thin sheet metal, which is more prone to dents compared to the thicker, reinforced panels used in modern cars. In addition, older cars lose structural rigidity over time, especially if they’ve undergone rust o r accidental repairs.

Reasons for Easy Denting:

Thinner body panels for fuel efficiency

Lack of modern reinforcement beams inside doors

Age-related weakening of metal

Exposure to harsh weather and poor roads

Protection Tips:

Install side moldings o r door protectors

Use bumper guards o r rubber corner protectors

Be cautious when parking in tight spots o r near motorcycles

Park under shade to avoid metal expansion in heat
