Ill take all the power ya have and use it intelligently, Again I point you to the Cadillac engines, and Big mercedes hybrid diesels. The shoe must fit I can wear something 2 sizes too big but cannot fit 1/2 sized too small.

Bold for emphasis.
Kia Sephia isn't exactly known for high horsepower. This 1.0 ecoboost will certainly have higher useable output in the daily-driving rpm range.
