The Rover 214 and 414 were compact cars produced by the British car manufacturer Rover Group from 1989 to 1996. These cars were part of the second generation of the Rover 200 series and were sold in both hatchback and saloon body styles. They were launched as replacements for the first generation Rover 200 series and were based on a modified version of the Honda Concerto platform, which had been used for the first-generation Rover 200. The 214 and 414 differed in their engine options, with the 214 featuring a 1.4-liter engine while the 414 was powered by a 1.4-liter engine with a catalytic converter, resulting in slightly higher horsepower. Both models offered a choice of manual or automatic transmissions.
The Rover 214 and 414 were known for their affordability, reliability, and practicality. These cars were particularly popular with young drivers and families. They were also well received for their comfortable ride, decent handling, and spacious interiors. The 214 and 414 offered a range of standard features, including power steering, central locking, and a cassette player. Optionally, buyers could choose from features like air conditioning, electric windows, and an alloy wheel package. Despite their success, the Rover 214 and 414 faced strong competition in the compact car market from a variety of rivals. When the Rover Group was acquired by BMW in 1994, the company's focus shifted toward higher-end models, and the 214 and 414 were eventually discontinued. The Rover 200 series was replaced by the Rover 25, which was based on a completely new platform and was significantly more refined and sophisticated than its predecessors.
