Which Encore years got a 1.4L 4-cyl engine
Every model year this engine was fitted to, newest first. The bar is how much of the family's VIN volume sits in that year — long bars are the years this engine was everywhere.
VIN counts come from our decode of the model's build patterns, not from live listings. A year link opens the full Encore report for that year — every engine of the model, not just this one.
