What happens if I overload the Kia Stonic's cargo weight limit?

I'm planning on packing a lot into my Kia Stonic for a long road trip. Will I damage the car if I go over the recommended cargo weight limit? Is there anything I can do to increase the limit?

Overloading your car's cargo weight limit can not only damage the suspension and brakes, but also affects the handling and fuel efficiency of the vehicle. It is strongly recommended to not exceed the limit.

To increase the cargo weight limit, you can upgrade your car's suspension and brakes to handle heavier loads. However, this can be costly and may affect the performance of your car.

My advice would be to pack more efficiently and try not to exceed the limit. Consider leaving less important items behind or renting a larger vehicle if needed.
