Why does the Suzuki Wagon R feel unstable o r bouncy on rough roads?

Many Pakistani Wagon R users report that the car feels bouncy, especially on rural o r broken roads. Is the issue related to its lightweight body, suspension design, o r tall center of gravity, and does it compromise passenger comfort on long drives?

The bouncy and unstable ride is a well-known issue with the Wagon R in Pakistan. The reasons include:

Tall body design and narrow track, which affects stability and increases body roll.

Basic suspension setup, which struggles to absorb bumps on rural o r broken roads.

Lightweight build around 830–850 kg, which makes the car more sensitive to potholes and wind gusts.

Passengers may feel the car sway o r bounce when going over speed breakers o r driving on uneven roads. This affects both comfort and confidence, especially at higher speeds o r in windy conditions. Some owners upgrade the tyres and shock absorbers to improve ride quality.
