The Rover 25 was a supermini car produced by the British car manufacturer Rover from 1999 to 2005. It was the successor to the Rover 200 and was launched as part of a larger model range revamp, which included the Rover 45 and Rover 75. The 25 was designed to be a stylish and practical car, with a focus on affordability and fuel efficiency. It was available in a variety of body styles, including a three-door hatchback, a five-door hatchback, and a four-door saloon. Powertrain options included a range of petrol and diesel engines, with power outputs ranging from 68 to 108 bhp. Notably, the 25 was one of the first cars to feature a diesel engine with a variable geometry turbocharger, which helped to improve fuel economy and reduce emissions.
The Rover 25 was praised for its spacious interior, comfortable ride, and good handling. It was also appreciated for its fuel efficiency and affordability. However, it was criticized for its lackluster performance, dated interior design, and unreliable electrical systems. Despite its shortcomings, the 25 was a successful car for Rover, selling well in the UK and other European markets. In 2005, production of the Rover 25 was ended following the collapse of MG Rover, the company that had acquired the Rover brand in 2000. The Rover 25 was the last car to be produced under the Rover name, marking the end of an iconic British car brand.
