Why does my Suzuki Khyber have difficulty climbing hills o r inclines with passengers?

I’ve noticed that when I drive my Suzuki Khyber up a steep incline with passengers, the car struggles to climb and loses power. It seems that the car is not able to handle the load very well, especially on steep roads. Is this a limitation of the engine capacity o r could there be an issue with the transmission o r fuel system under load?

When climbing steep roads with multiple passengers, the Khyber’s small engine 993cc can struggle due to its limited torque output. This issue becomes more pronounced with age, poor maintenance, o r if the car is running on CNG, which provides less power than petrol. The clutch plate, if worn out, can also cause slippage and poor hill performance. To improve hill performance, consider switching back to petrol, checking the clutch, and ensuring the engine is properly tuned for high torque delivery. You might also want to lighten the load and avoid sudden accelerations during climbs.
