Yes, many owners of the Suzuki Wagon R report that the AC system struggles to perform optimally, especially during the intense summer heat in Pakistan. Here are the reasons:

AC System Capacity:
The Wagon R is a small car with a relatively compact cabin. The AC system might not have enough cooling capacity to handle extreme temperatures up to 45°C in some parts of Pakistan, particularly if the car is fully loaded o r parked under direct sunlight.

Design and Efficiency:
While the AC system is adequate for mild conditions, the cars smaller condenser and the low engine power 998cc may cause the AC to struggle when the outside temperature is extremely high, and the engine is under load.

Lack of Climate Control:
The Wagon R generally lacks dual-zone climate control o r automatic temperature control, making it harder to maintain consistent coolness, especially if the cabin is not well-ventilated.

Solution:

Some owners opt for regular AC servicing, including checking the refrigerant levels and cleaning the condenser to improve efficiency. Additionally, using tinted windows o r installing window shades can help keep the cabin cooler.
