Why does the Changan Alsvin’s body seem more prone to dents from minor impacts compared to other sedans in Pakistan?

Many owners report that even a slight bump, such as a door tap in parking, leaves a noticeable dent. Is this due to the thinner sheet metal o r softer body panels?

Yes, many Alsvin owners in Pakistan have observed that the car dents more easily from light taps, such as door dings in parking lots o r low-speed contact with objects. This is primarily due to the use of thinner sheet metal on body panels, which helps reduce manufacturing costs and vehicle weight but compromises durability. The softer-grade steel lacks the structural rigidity of what is typically found in Honda City o r Toyota Yaris models. As a result, even minor impacts can leave visible dents, especially on the doors and rear quarter panels, making the car less resistant to daily urban wear and tear.
