The Rover 45 and MG ZS were compact cars produced by the Rover Group and MG Rover Group, respectively, during the late 1990s and early 2000s. The Rover 45 was launched in 1999 as the successor to the Rover 400, and the MG ZS followed in 2001 as its sporty counterpart. Both models shared the same platform and underpinnings, but differed in their styling and engine options. The Rover 45 emphasized practicality and comfort, while the MG ZS aimed for a more youthful and dynamic appeal. They were offered in various body styles, including a three-door hatchback, a five-door hatchback, and a saloon.

Despite sharing a similar foundation, the Rover 45 and MG ZS underwent significant modifications over their respective lifecycles. Notably, the Rover 45 received a major facelift in 2004, which brought a revised exterior design, updated interior trims, and an improved engine lineup. This update aimed to rejuvenate the model's appeal and keep it competitive in the increasingly crowded compact car segment. Although the MG ZS was not as frequently updated as the Rover 45, it consistently offered sporty handling and a peppy engine, making it a popular choice for drivers seeking an exciting driving experience. Both models were known for their relatively spacious interiors, comfortable ride, and user-friendly features. The Rover 45 and MG ZS represented a significant step forward for both brands, offering stylish and practical compact cars that appealed to a wide range of buyers.
