Why do Changan Karvaan owners in Pakistan frequently report that the vehicle’s body dents easily, even with minor contact o r pressure?

Why do Changan Karvaan owners in Pakistan frequently report that the vehicle’s body dents easily, even with minor contact o r pressure?

Drivers mention that slight touches from bikes, rickshaws, o r opening car doors cause noticeable damage. Is the body sheet metal too thin for urban traffic?

Changan Karvaan uses relatively thin and lightweight sheet metal for its body panels. This design choice helps keep the vehicle’s price affordable and improves fuel efficiency but compromises on exterior durability. In busy Pakistani cities, where tight parking, narrow roads, and frequent contact with bikes, rickshaws, and other vehicles are common, even small bumps o r door knocks can leave noticeable dents o r marks.

So yes, the body sheet metal is thinner than that of higher-end vans o r SUVs, making it more vulnerable to dents from everyday urban traffic conditions.
