Engine damage if up!'s belt breaks?

Hello! Can you tell me if the 1.0mpi engine in the non facelift WV UP is an interference engine or not? (I mean, if the timing belt breaks will it do damage to the engine?) Thanks!

Our answer:

Hi Liviu.

Yes, it is an engine that would sustain damage if the belt breaks. Most do these days.
