Which Optima years got a 2.0L 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 Optima report for that year — every engine of the model, not just this one.

The 2.0L 4-cyl Optima: common questions
Which Optima years have the 2.0L 4-cyl?
2016–2020, without a break — 5 model years in our VIN decode, across 21 factory configurations and 17,648 VINs.
What does a 2.0L 4-cyl Optima cost?
$12,000 is the typical asking price across the 270 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.
Is the 2.0L 4-cyl turbocharged?
Yes — every configuration in this family decodes as turbocharged.
What is the engine code, and does it matter?
T-GDI — 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.
