The choice depends on whether you have frequent highway drives or usage will mostly be within city confines.

I have decided to buy the Kia Carens, but I am confused about whether I should go in for the Prestige manual or Prestige Plus iMT? I only want to go in for a petrol as my monthly run is hardly 300km. What’s confusing me is the fact that the Prestige manual comes with a naturally aspirated engine, while the iMT gets a turbo-petrol. So is it good to buy a manual with a NA engine or is turbo preferable as per trend?

Autocar India says: The Carens turbo-petrol is worth looking at if you are driving regularly on the highway or long distances where the power and performance makes your commute easier and more relaxed. However, for a run of just 300km a month, the 1.5 naturally aspirated engine will do just fine if you don’t mind using a manual.
