Well, I think this is a good Publicity Stunt from KIA and perhaps showing to the world that they do have a 1.6l Turbo + Transmission to offer.

It would be interesting in the future if the K3 facelift is offered in a 1.6l turbo variant.
That would probably be the game plan for KIA in the future I think.

Very unlikely for Naza to introduce turbo engine for 1.6 K3 sedan facelift (if any in future) as that would increase the  cost significantly and priced it beyond what people are willing to pay for an everyday/general use C-segment car. The Koup however is different as it caters to a specific segment of performance car, call it Fast and Furious generation if you'd like.

Personally, and from a sales perspective, I 'd like to see Naza bringing in a different version of the Rio Sedan (also known as K2 in China). This B-segment model would then be able to compete head on with City and Vios for market share, if priced competitively.

Thats too bad sad.gif I'd personally would like to see Kia grow and perhaps more engine variants.
They are going the right way and lets see where the future holds for Kia.

A turbo saloon would put them right up the marque with the greats. Just my 2 cents.
