Reduced engine power o r sluggish acceleration can result from clogged air filters restricting airflow, dirty fuel filters limiting fuel supply, o r issues with the turbocharger on turbo variants. In Pakistan, dust and pollution clog air filters quickly if not replaced on schedule. Poor fuel quality can also reduce combustion efficiency. Another cause can be a malfunctioning throttle body o r faulty sensors affecting engine management. Regular replacement of air and fuel filters, cleaning the throttle body, and ensuring good fuel quality are critical. For turbo models, proper maintenance of the turbocharger system is important to avoid lag o r power loss.
