Are Hyundai Elantras brakes reliable in emergency situations on Pakistani roads?

I had a close call recently where I felt the braking response of my Elantra was slightly delayed. While the car does have ABS and EBD, the pedal feels soft at times. Has anyone else in Pakistan experienced inconsistent braking o r longer stopping distances, especially on rough o r wet roads?

Many Elantra users in Pakistan report brake performance to be decent but not excellent, particularly in emergency braking o r sudden stops on bumpy o r wet roads.

Common concerns:

Soft brake pedal feel even when new.

Longer stopping distances on low-grip surfaces like dusty o r wet roads.

ABS and EBD function correctly, but the brake pads may be of lower quality than international models.

Suggestions:

Regularly check brake fluid and pad condition.

Consider upgrading to premium brake pads like Brembo o r Bosch for better response.

Maintain tyres in good condition, as they significantly affect braking performance.

In summary, brakes are adequate for daily driving, but for high-speed o r emergency scenarios, they lack the sharp bite that some users expect in this price range.
