The Rover 214 and 414 were compact cars produced by the Rover Group from 1995 to 2005. They were the successors to the Rover 200 and 400 series, and were built on the same platform with a similar body style. The 214 and 414 were offered in various trim levels, including the S, Si, and GTi. The 214 was powered by a 1.4-liter K-series petrol engine, while the 414 featured a 1.6-liter K-series petrol engine. These engines were known for their smooth and responsive performance. The cars also featured a front-wheel drive layout and a five-speed manual transmission, although a four-speed automatic transmission was available for some models.

Despite some initial praise for their driving dynamics and comfort, the Rover 214 and 414 faced criticism for their reliability issues. The K-series engine, while potent, was known for developing head gasket failures and other problems. This, coupled with the diminishing reputation of the Rover Group, led to the cars losing market share to rivals like the Honda Civic and Ford Fiesta. Despite the challenges, the Rover 214 and 414 offered a stylish and affordable entry into the compact car segment, appealing to younger drivers and those looking for a comfortable and fun-to-drive vehicle. However, their reliability issues and the eventual demise of the Rover Group ultimately led to the discontinuation of these models.
