Where the 2.4L 4-cyl sits in the Regal engine lineup

Every engine family this model was sold with, ordered by size. The bar spans the model years it was fitted; the price is what cars carrying it ask today. Older engines look cheaper because the cars are older — the only fair comparison is an engine whose years overlap this one's.

The 2.4L 4-cyl Regal: common questions

Which Regal years have the 2.4L 4-cyl?

2011–2017, without a break — 7 model years in our VIN decode, across 28 factory configurations and 14,946 VINs.

What does a 2.4L 4-cyl Regal cost?

$7,195 is the typical asking price across the 116 cars with this engine on sale today. The year-by-year ladder above splits that by model year — the spread between the oldest and newest year is far wider than the spread between engines.

What is the engine code, and does it matter?

LAF — the code the VIN decodes to on the configurations on this page. It matters when you order parts or read a service history: the same displacement badge on another model can be a different code with different outputs.
