The Rover 200 and Rover 25 were a pair of compact cars produced by the British automotive manufacturer Rover from 1999 to 2005. These models were designed to succeed the Rover 200 and 400 Series, respectively, and were built on the same platform as the Honda Civic, reflecting a collaborative partnership between the two companies. The 200 and 25 shared a similar design language, featuring a rounded, streamlined aesthetic that positioned them as modern and youthful offerings in the compact car segment. They were available in a range of body styles, including a three-door hatchback, a five-door hatchback, and a four-door saloon.

Under the hood, the Rover 200 and 25 were powered by a selection of petrol and diesel engines, with options ranging from 1.1-litre to 1.8-litre in displacement. While both models were praised for their comfortable interior cabins and decent handling characteristics, their reliability proved to be a recurring concern. The partnership with Honda, while initially beneficial, ultimately led to limited engine options and a lack of distinct Rover character. Despite these limitations, the 200 and 25 were considered competitive in the compact car market during their production run, particularly in the UK. Their affordability and practicality made them appealing to a wide range of buyers, although their long-term durability presented challenges. The Rover 200 and 25 were ultimately discontinued in 2005 as part of a larger restructuring within the Rover Group, marking the end of a chapter for the iconic British brand.
