Yes, Alsvin is reported to overheat during prolonged idling, long drives, o r hilly terrain, especially in hot Pakistani cities. This is due to:

A cooling system optimized for milder climates, not 45°C+ heat.

Compact engine bay restricting airflow.

Marginal-quality components like fan motors and coolant sensors.
So, its not necessarily a full design flaw, but the system is not robust enough for Pakistan’s demanding conditions without strict maintenance.
