The MG Metro, a compact hatchback manufactured by British Leyland (later Rover Group) from 1980 to 1991, was a significant vehicle in the company's history, marking a departure from traditional MG sports cars while offering a practical and affordable option for the everyday driver. It was designed by the Italian designer, Giorgetto Giugiaro, and featured a distinctive, boxy shape with a sloping front, a wide grille, and rounded taillights. The Metro's compact size, offering impressive maneuverability and fuel efficiency, made it a popular choice in urban areas. It was available in various body styles, including a three-door hatchback, a five-door hatchback, and a van version. The MG Metro was powered by a range of small petrol engines, ranging from a 998cc unit to a 1.3-liter engine, offering varying levels of performance and fuel economy. While it was not known for blistering acceleration, its lightweight chassis and responsive handling provided a lively driving experience ideal for city driving. Throughout its production run, the Metro received several updates, including revised engines, interior improvements, and cosmetic changes. Though it was initially launched as a budget-minded option, the Metro gained a reputation for its reliability and durability, becoming a popular choice for first-time car buyers and families. Despite facing competition from other compact cars in the market, the MG Metro garnered success, particularly in the UK, where it consistently ranked among the top-selling cars.
