Title: Does the lightweight body of the Suzuki Swift affect stability in windy o r high-speed conditions?

Due to its lightweight build, Im wondering how the Suzuki Swift handles strong crosswinds o r fast driving on highways. Have owners in Pakistan faced stability o r control issues at high speeds o r during adverse weather?

Yes, to some extent. The Swift weighs around 875–970 kg, depending on the variant, which is relatively light. While this contributes to better fuel economy and agile city handling, it can cause noticeable instability at high speeds, especially on highways like the M2 o r M9. Owners have reported that strong crosswinds o r overtaking large vehicles like buses o r trucks can make the car feel shaky. At speeds above 100–120 km/h, the car’s light frame and short wheelbase mean it may not feel as planted as heavier sedans o r crossovers.
