Are Pakistani commercial users overloading Changan Karvaan beyond its recommended payload, leading to safety and mechanical problems?

In school van o r goods transport use, many exceed weight limits. Is this causing suspension damage, brake stress, o r reduced engine performance?

✅ Yes, widespread overloading

Official payload: ~550–650 kg

In school van, ride-sharing, o r cargo use, users often:

Carry 10–11 passengers

Install extra seats o r place goods under seats

This causes:

Suspension sagging

Brake fade

Reduced acceleration and engine overheating

➡️ Overloading is a major issue, especially in Karachi, Faisalabad, Peshawar, and rural routes. It affects performance, safety, and vehicle life.
