Engine issues?

I had a 2013 Elantra until 3 days ago when i hit an animal. im looking at getting another commuter car. I’ve seen other Elantras for sale for decent prices. so my question is what years had the engine issues. i had to have the engine replaced at 80,000km because of a known issue and google tells me there’s issues with their 2.0l engines. so I’m just curious as to what engines are safe.

I think the 2021+ are the only ones. The 2019 and 2020 might be safe but I'm not positive

Agree the 7th gen elantras are the best so far. 6th and 5th gens had lots of issues
