Exterior Durability:
The paint on the Suzuki Lapin, like many small cars, may be susceptible to fading, particularly if exposed to prolonged sun and high temperatures, which are common in Pakistan. Additionally, if the car is exposed to saltwater e.g., coastal regions, it may experience corrosion on the body.
Rust: Due to the small size and design of the car, some models may develop rust in areas like wheel wells and the undercarriage, especially if exposed to wet o r humid conditions.
Interior Durability:
Upholstery: The fabric o r vinyl upholstery inside the car can wear out over time, especially with frequent use and exposure to heat. The material might fade o r tear after several years of use.
Plastic Trims: The interior plastic trim can crack o r discolor over time due to constant exposure to sunlight and heat. This is a common issue in cars that are not regularly maintained o r have not been protected with UV-resistant products.
Prevention/Tips: To protect both exterior and interior surfaces, regular washing, waxing the car’s paint, and using sunshades o r UV protectant for the interior can prevent fading and cracking. Rust-proofing the undercarriage and other vulnerable areas can help minimize the effects of corrosion.
