The Rover 214 and 414 were a pair of compact cars produced by the British car manufacturer Rover Group from 1989 to 1996. They were essentially badge-engineered versions of the Honda Concerto, sharing its platform, engine, and many other components. The 214 and 414 were available in a range of body styles, including a three-door hatchback, a five-door hatchback, and a four-door saloon. Both models were available with a choice of 1.4-liter and 1.6-liter petrol engines, paired with either a five-speed manual or a four-speed automatic transmission. The Rover 214 and 414 were designed to be affordable and practical cars, offering a comfortable and spacious interior, as well as a good level of equipment for their price point. They were praised by many reviewers for their handling and ride quality, which were considered to be superior to those of the Honda Concerto on which they were based. The 214 and 414 were popular choices for those looking for a reliable and well-rounded compact car, but they were also criticized for their somewhat dull styling and bland driving experience. Despite these shortcomings, the Rover 214 and 414 remained successful models for Rover Group, contributing significantly to the company's sales in the early 1990s. Their relatively low price point and Honda-derived reliability made them popular choices among private buyers and fleet customers alike.
