The Rover 45 and MG ZS were compact cars produced by the Rover Group and later MG Rover, respectively, from 1999 to 2005. The Rover 45 was launched as the successor to the popular Rover 400 series, adopting a more modern and aerodynamic design. It featured a range of petrol and diesel engines, with options for a 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic transmission. The MG ZS, a closely related model, was introduced in 2001 as a sportier and more performance-oriented version of the Rover 45. It shared the same platform and basic mechanical components but was fitted with a more powerful engine and a sportier exterior and interior design. Both vehicles aimed to capture the attention of younger buyers with their contemporary styling, practicality, and relatively affordable price point.

Despite their similarities, the Rover 45 and MG ZS had distinct identities. The Rover 45 was marketed as a practical and reliable family car, while the MG ZS emphasized driving enjoyment and a sportier feel. Both models were well-received for their comfort, handling, and roomy interiors. However, the Rover Group faced financial difficulties leading to its closure in 2005. MG Rover, a separate company, continued production of the MG ZS until 2005. The Rover 45 and MG ZS were significant models in the history of both Rover and MG, marking a transition towards more modern and streamlined designs. While they may not be as common on the roads today, their legacy lives on in the hearts of enthusiasts who appreciate their unique blend of British engineering and style.
