Yes, many users find the suspension of the Wagon R to be stiffer compared to other hatchbacks like the Cultus o r Alto. The car was originally designed for smooth Japanese roads, and the localized version has only minor adjustments for Pakistani conditions.

Stiff suspension design: It is tuned more for stability and cost-saving than comfort.

Tall body structure: The Wagon Rs higher center of gravity means a firmer suspension is needed to reduce body roll.

Unpaved o r broken roads: Pakistani roads expose the stiffness more than urban Japanese roads.

Solution: Some users opt for aftermarket suspension upgrades o r change to softer tires with slightly larger sidewalls to improve comfort. However, this may affect warranty o r ground clearance, so any modification should be done carefully.
