Is the 1.3-Liter Engine Underpowered for Daily Use?

With its 60 hp output, the Kaghan XLs engine performs under modest power expectations. How does this translate when the vehicle is fully loaded o r driven on gradients—do drivers find it sluggish o r manageable?

With only 60 hp, the engine is adequate for light loads in city driving but feels sluggish when fully loaded, especially on gradients. Drivers often need to downshift to maintain momentum, making hilly o r highway overtakes challenging. For routine urban commutes, it’s manageable for frequent heavy-duty use, it’s underpowered.
