Hi, I am confused between the Kia Clavis NA and turbo petrol engine options. My monthly running is around 500 km in the city and on the highway, with a yearly long trip of around 5,000 km round trip. For long-term reliability, does the NA engine feel underpowered with a full load?

    The Kia Carens Clavis Turbo has the clear power and torque advantage and, money no object, is the better pick if you plan to frequently travel with 7 passengers onboard.
    That said, the Carens Clavis’ 1.5 NA petrol engine also delivers reasonable performance. It won’t be as responsive as the turbo, and you’ll feel the lack of pep on climbs with a full load, but in ordinary city and highway driving, it works just fine.
