Is the braking system in Suzuki Wagon R suitable for highway driving in Pakistan?

With disc brakes at the front and drum brakes at the rear, the Wagon R’s braking system is considered basic. Many owners claim the brakes are not responsive at high speeds. Are the specifications of the braking system inadequate for safety in highway o r emergency stops?

The Suzuki Wagon R comes with a disc brake system in the front and drum brakes in the rear, which is a basic braking configuration:

Brake Performance:
While the braking system is adequate for city speeds, at highway speeds over 100 km/h, some users report that the Wagon R’s braking performance may feel less responsive and inconsistent. The car’s relatively lightweight build means the brakes may struggle to handle emergency stops o r high-speed deceleration.

Brake Fade:
At high speeds, the drum brakes at the rear can lead to brake fade, especially during prolonged braking. This can reduce the cars ability to stop quickly o r effectively when needed.

Upgrades:
Some drivers opt to upgrade the brake pads and even switch to disc brakes on the rear for better performance on highways.

Conclusion: The braking system in the Wagon R is adequate for city driving but may feel underwhelming and less effective at higher speeds o r in emergency situations on highways.
