KIA 2.0 Mills, How many? Options

[Neanderthal]

I'm wondering how many different 2.0 mills the H/K empire has produced in the last several years.

After test driving a Soul recently, I started looking at specs.

Researching the Soul mill, I see KIA says it's 1999 cc, 164 HP @6500 and 148 TQ @ 4800.
The Forte, OTOH, has a 1998 cc motor rated 156 HP @6200 and 144 TQ @4300.

Finding bore x stroke and history has so far proved fruitless.

Referencing back to my 2007 Spectra, it has a 1975 cc engine rated at 138 HP @6000 and 136 TQ @4500.

Is either the Soul or Forte motor derived from the Spectra 1975cc, or are they new-sheets?

What Hyundais are/were these engines used in? What 2.0 motor does the Sonata/Optima T use? Is it one of the above-referenced?

Any site that discusses the history and derivations of these various engines would be interesting.

Thanks for any help with this.

I didn't know the Soul 2.0 carried the Nu motor... You learn something new everyday.

Correct me if i'm wrong, The theta motor has the same block Mitsubishi uses in their new lancer? (Basics designed between the two companies?) - For the record I can't stand Mitsubishi

Per Wiki, Theta is also Chrysler World Engine in 1.8/2.0/2.4L and Mitsu 2.0/2.0 Turbo/2.4L.

While at the KIA dealer this morning, I was eyeballing a Sorento 2.4. D-I-L is wanting a new car.

It had an optional GDI, in other words the 200 HP mill that's stock in the Optima and Sonata.
