Some users complain the van feels underpowered o r struggles when fully loaded. Is the weight-to-power ratio insufficient for heavy-duty daily use?

Not always. School vans and ride-sharing often:

Carry 9–11 passengers, exceeding safe weight limits.

Add luggage, gas cylinders, and roof racks.

➡️ The 1.0L engine is underpowered 68–72 hp for full loads, leading to:

Strained acceleration

More fuel use

Overheating on climbs

⚠️ Weight-to-power ratio is insufficient for long-term commercial abuse.
