The 2.0L 4-cyl MKZ: common questions

Which MKZ years have the 2.0L 4-cyl?

2013–2020, without a break — 8 model years in our VIN decode, across 53 factory configurations and 63,361 VINs.

What does a 2.0L 4-cyl MKZ cost?

$14,900 is the typical asking price across the 964 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?

2.0L GTDI high w/Premium Fuel — 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.
