Want Performance Without Spending Much? Check Out 5 Cars with 2.0 Engines That Depreciated and Today Cost Less Than a New Compact While Delivering Lots of Power and Comfort.
If you’re looking for a used car that combines a strong engine, comfort, and an affordable price, you’ll be surprised by the number of 2.0 models that have lost value in recent years. With the explosion of SUVs and the preference for smaller turbo engines, various sedans, hatchbacks, and even midsize utility vehicles have depreciated so much that today they cost less than a base new hatch — but deliver much more performance and features.
Below, we list 5 cars with 2.0 engines that can now be found for prices between R$ 45 thousand and R$ 70 thousand, highlighting their reliable mechanics, good cost‑effectiveness, and that extra power for driving with pleasure and safety.
1. Honda Civic 2.0 LXR/LXS (2014 to 2016)
An icon among midsize sedans, the Honda Civic 2.0 from the ninth generation has lost ground to newer models but remains one of the best purchases in the used market. Equipped with a naturally aspirated 2.0 engine with up to 155 hp and a five-speed automatic transmission, it delivers smooth performance and legendary reliability.

In addition to the engine, the Civic offers plenty of comfort: digital air conditioning, electric steering, quality finishes, and good ergonomics. Today, it is possible to find LXR or LXS units for R$ 55 thousand to R$ 65 thousand, less than a new Renault Kwid.
Why It’s Worth It:
- Reliable and uncomplicated 2.0 engine
- Still modern design and good equipment package
- Stabilized depreciation, easy resale
2. Toyota Corolla XEi/GLi 2.0 (2012 to 2015)
The Toyota Corolla is another example of a midsize sedan with a 2.0 engine that is now affordable. The GLi and XEi versions of this generation come with the Dual VVT‑i 2.0 engine delivering 143/154 hp (gasoline/ethanol) and a four-speed automatic transmission — simple yet virtually indestructible.
Found between R$ 52 thousand and R$ 65 thousand, the Corolla provides mechanical robustness, comfort, and liquidity in the market. It is one of the most reliable naturally aspirated engines in Brazil, with easy maintenance and low parts cost for a midsize car.
Why It’s Worth It:
- Engine known to run 300,000 km without issues
- Accessible insurance and excellent maintenance cost
- Excellent reputation in the used market
3. Volkswagen Jetta 2.0 Comfortline (2012 to 2016)
For those wanting a sedan with a touch of German sophistication, the VW Jetta 2.0 naturally aspirated is a great choice. The Comfortline version features the EA113 2.0 engine with 120 hp and a six-speed automatic transmission (Tiptronic), prioritizing comfort and durability.
Even though it’s not the most powerful Jetta, it offers good low-end torque, a great driving experience, and solid build quality. Today, a 2014 Jetta 2.0 can be bought for R$ 50 thousand to R$ 60 thousand, less than a new 1.0 hatch.
Why It’s Worth It:
- Simple non-turbo engine, easy to maintain
- Midsize sedan with a premium feel
- Excellent stability and comfort on long trips
4. Ford Fusion 2.0 EcoBoost (2013 to 2016)
Want a lot of engine and comfort for little money? The Ford Fusion 2.0 EcoBoost could be the most surprising purchase on the list.
The large sedan, equipped with a 2.0 turbo engine delivering 234 hp, front-wheel drive (or all-wheel drive in AWD versions), and a six-speed automatic transmission, was once an executive car. Today, it can be found for R$ 65 thousand to R$ 70 thousand.
Despite its size and more sophisticated mechanics, it is a well-built, comfortable car with lots of features: dual-zone digital air conditioning, leather seats, sunroof, cruise control, and even driving aids.
Why It’s Worth It:
- Strong and reliable turbo engine when properly maintained
- Large sedan with a luxury package
- Price equivalent to a basic new hatch
5. Hyundai ix35 2.0 (2013 to 2015)
Midsize SUVs have also been affected by depreciation, and the Hyundai ix35 is one of the best examples. Equipped with a 16V 2.0 engine with up to 178 hp on ethanol, it offers solid performance, a six-speed automatic transmission, and plenty of space for the family.
Today, a well-preserved used ix35 can be found for R$ 60 thousand to R$ 70 thousand — less than a new compact SUV like the Fiat Pulse or the entry-level VW Nivus.
Why It’s Worth It:
- Comfortable and spacious midsize SUV
- Reliable naturally aspirated 2.0 engine with no surprises
- Ideal for those seeking size and comfort for less
Why Have These Cars Lost So Much Value?
The main reason for the depreciation of these 2.0 engine cars is the market shift:
- Smaller and turbo engines have dominated sales in recent years, making naturally aspirated engines less desirable.
- The preference for compact SUVs has diminished the space for midsize and large sedans.
- Models like Fusion and Lancer have been discontinued, accelerating the drop in prices.
For the right buyer, this is pure opportunity: powerful, comfortable, and well-equipped cars at the prices of economy models.
If you’re looking for performance, space, and comfort while paying less than for a new 1.0 hatch, these 6 models with 2.0 engines are true bargains in 2025. The Honda Civic, Toyota Corolla, VW Jetta, Ford Fusion, Hyundai ix35, and Mitsubishi Lancer combine reliable mechanics, robust engines, and competitive prices.
By choosing one of these used cars, you will take home more power on the pedal, more comfort inside, and a car that delivers much more than it costs today.
Kkkkk faça mil favor, onde foi que eles chegaram a conclusão que Civic e Corolla custam esses valores???? Um Civic 2016 aqui em minha cidade de Jundiaí/SP custa em média 74 até 77 mil reais com 180 mil km em média um 2008 custando em média 45 mil desculpe não fala ****, é um carro que pouco desvaloriza……. falar que o Jetta 2.0 aspirado tem bom desempenho é uma piada……. anda menos e é menos potente que um HB20 1.6 16V. Já o Fusion encontro por até 65 mil e ele foi desvalorizado pelo grande problema de trinca de cabeçote, muita potência para o carro……. sempre dá esse problema no motor e o câmbio a Ford não sabe fazer, mesmo não sendo o PoweShift (powe ****) o câmbio ainda dá problemas de superaquecimento e trepidações
São todos carros problemáticos se não forem bem cuidados. Não se iluda com nenhum deles pq vai largar um rim na oficina ao menor sinal de problema. Não confunda carro zero kms e simples com carro top e completo com 10 anos de uso
Não compraria nenhum dessa época, câmbio automático de 4 machas bebe demais., o cruze 2017 l.4 turbo é uma opção bem melhor.
Civic já tinha 5 marchas no automático desde 2006…
Não, em 2006 era 4 marchas. O civic usou 5 marchas quando usou o motor 2.0 em 2014. O primeiro sedan médio a usar câmbio automático de 6 marchas, foi o volkswagen Bora em 2008. Obrigado pela compreensão, e até mais.
Cala a boca não fala ****, eu tive um New Civic 2006 e era 5 marcas automático e foi assim até 2016 vc antes de falar qualquer coisa estuda melhor
