Can I go in for the CVT variant of the Renault Kiger with the naturally aspirated engine? Also, is there any issue with the engine after a year?

Autocar India says: The Kiger’s naturally aspirated 1.0-litre engine is nowhere near as good as the 1.0-turbo, which belongs to a different engine family. You will feel a marked difference in the driving characteristics between the two engines. The naturally aspirated version, apart from being down on power, isn’t as smooth or refined as the turbo variant. If you are driving very short distances, the naturally aspirated version will do, but if you can stretch your budget, it’s the turbo model we would recommend.
