How does the DFSK Glory 580 perform on uphill gradients, especially when fully loaded?

In Pakistan we have steep uphills and mountainous roads e.g. in Murree, Kaghan, o r Northern Areas. For owners: when the Glory 580 is carrying full passengers + luggage, does it struggle o r lose a lot of speed on inclines? Is there noticeable turbo lag o r overheating under such load?

Uphill / Load Performance

What people say:

Several owners and reviewers say that when the car is fully loaded full passengers + luggage, the Glory 580 feels underpowered on steep uphill gradients. The engine seems to struggle more than expected. This is especially true in hilly regions o r when overtaking on inclines. From Reddit discussions

Turbo lag o r delay in response is sometimes felt, especially if youre accelerating hard when fully loaded. Some owners suggest that the power dips noticeably.

What helps:

Keeping the vehicle light when possible.

Ensuring tyres are properly inflated.

Proper servicing of air filters etc. Imperfect intake o r exhaust flow worsens uphill performance.
