Is the engine capacity of Suzuki Swift suitable for Pakistani road conditions?

With most Suzuki Swift variants in Pakistan offering a 1.3L o r 1.2L engine, many users question whether this engine size is powerful enough for highways, hilly areas, and city traffic with AC on. Is the engine underpowered o r balanced for local needs?

The Suzuki Swift in Pakistan typically comes with a 1.2L o r 1.3L 4-cylinder petrol engine, depending on the model year and variant. While its adequate for city driving, some users feel its slightly underpowered for:

Hilly areas like Murree o r northern regions, especially when the car is fully loaded.

Driving with AC on, which adds strain on the engine.
That said, the engine is fuel-efficient and responsive for daily commutes and urban use. For more power-demanding driving, a 1.5L o r higher engine available in international models would perform better—but it comes at the cost of lower mileage.
