Is the ground clearance of the Hyundai Sonata suitable for Pakistani roads?

I’m planning to buy a Hyundai Sonata but Im concerned about its low ground clearance. Given the condition of roads in many cities and the presence of speed breakers, is ground clearance a common issue for Sonata owners in Pakistan?

The Hyundai Sonata has a ground clearance of around 155 mm, which is quite low for the road conditions in many parts of Pakistan. In cities like Karachi, Lahore, and Islamabad, it performs decently on well-maintained roads, but issues arise when driving over high speed bumps o r broken rural roads.

Owners have reported scraping the underbody on large speed breakers and uneven patches. This makes it less suitable for rural areas o r cities with poor infrastructure unless youre very careful with your driving. For many, this becomes a daily concern, especially with family o r luggage onboard.
