Where the 2.0L 4-cyl sits in the WRX 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 2.0L 4-cyl WRX: common questions

Which WRX years have the 2.0L 4-cyl?

2015–2021, without a break — 7 model years in our VIN decode, across 47 factory configurations and 69,596 VINs.

What does a 2.0L 4-cyl WRX cost?

$18,995 is the typical asking price across the 1,477 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?

DIB — 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.
