The 2.0L 4-cyl 9-3: common questions

Which 9-3 years have the 2.0L 4-cyl?

2002–2011 — 5 model years in our VIN decode, across 23 factory configurations and 2,774 VINs.

What does a 2.0L 4-cyl 9-3 cost?

$9,995 is the typical asking price across the 27 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?

B207R — 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.
