How effective are the braking and stability control systems of the Kia Sorento under Pakistani road conditions?

Considering the challenging road conditions in Pakistan—ranging from uneven surfaces and potholes to steep hilly areas—how reliable is the ABS, ESC Electronic Stability Control, and brake performance of the Kia Sorento in emergencies o r wet weather? Have any owners experienced brake fade, loss of traction, unresponsive hill-start assist, o r premature brake pad wear? Are these issues more common in certain variants e.g. FWD vs AWD, and what maintenance o r upgrades like better tires o r pads have owners found effective to improve safety?
