Are Changan Kalam’s wheelbase and turning radius a limitation in narrow streets o r urban areas in Pakistani cities?

Do drivers face difficulty maneuvering in tight alleys o r markets due to the longer wheelbase?

Yes, the Kalam’s wheelbase approx. 2760 mm and relatively wide turning circle make it harder to:

Maneuver in crowded bazaars

Navigate tight u-turns o r alleys

Reverse into narrow loading bays

Compared to vehicles like Suzuki Ravi, Kalam feels longer and less nimble, which is a concern for urban delivery drivers working in old city areas like Lahore, Rawalpindi, o r Peshawar.
