✅ Yes, the engine is underpowered for full-capacity operation.

The 68–72 hp 1.0L engine is the same used in smaller vehicles.

With 6–7 passengers o r cargo, the engine:

Works harder

Spends more time in lower gears

Requires more throttle input

➡️ Result: Higher fuel burn and lower mileage.
➡️ Engine strain = low fuel efficiency.
