The Rover 414, produced from 1995 to 1999, was a compact saloon car offered by the British automotive manufacturer Rover. This model represented a continuation of the earlier Rover 400 series, offering a blend of practicality and affordability. The 414 was built on a modified version of the Honda Concerto platform, reflecting a collaborative agreement between the two companies. While inheriting Honda's renowned reliability and engineering, the 414 also boasted distinct Rover styling and interior design. The car featured a spacious and comfortable cabin, with generous legroom for both front and rear passengers. The 414 was available in a range of trim levels, catering to diverse customer needs and preferences.
Under the hood, the Rover 414 was powered by a selection of petrol engines sourced from Honda. The most common engine option was the 1.4-litre K-series petrol engine, producing around 88 horsepower. This engine provided a decent balance of performance and fuel efficiency, making it suitable for everyday driving. The 414 also offered a 1.6-litre engine for those seeking a bit more power. While the 414 was praised for its practicality, fuel economy, and comfortable ride, it faced competition from other popular compact saloon cars like the Ford Escort and the Vauxhall Astra. The Rover 414 ultimately proved to be a relatively short-lived model, as Rover faced financial difficulties and was acquired by BMW in 1994. Despite its limited production run, the 414 remains a testament to the collaboration between Rover and Honda, offering a reliable and reasonably priced car for the time.
