Just returned from a trip (Karachi to Babusar Top) and we had a Gli 1.3 auto with us and the car was performing very reasonably. The car had 4/5 people on board and had a trunk full of luggage. My cousin who drove the car all the way from Karachi was shocked by how good the car was running and he drives a 2015 altis Grande.
I wouldnât call it underpowered Its more of a relative term.
