Title: Does the low ground clearance of the Suzuki Swift cause frequent underbody hits on Pakistani roads?

Ive heard that the Suzuki Swift has relatively low ground clearance, which can be problematic on uneven roads, speed breakers, and potholes in Pakistan. Is this a common issue for owners, especially in cities like Karachi o r Lahore where roads vary in quality?

Yes, this is a common issue reported by Suzuki Swift owners in Pakistan. The Swift has a ground clearance of around 160 mm, which is considered low for the uneven and poorly maintained roads found in many parts of Pakistan. Speed breakers in cities like Lahore, Karachi, and Islamabad are often built without standard dimensions, leading to the Swifts underbody scraping—especially when the car is fully loaded. Many users install aftermarket spacers o r adjust suspension settings to counter this problem, though this can affect ride comfort and handling.
