The Rover 214, produced from 1989 to 1996, was a compact hatchback manufactured by the British car manufacturer Rover Group. It was part of the second generation of the Rover 200 series, a range that aimed to replace the aging Metro and Maestro models. The 214 was positioned as the entry-level model in the lineup, sitting below the 216, 220, and 218 models. This model stood out for its sharp and modern styling, featuring angular lines and a raked windshield, departing from the more rounded designs of its predecessors. The Rover 214 was offered with a range of four-cylinder petrol engines, including the 1.1-liter K-series engine and the larger 1.3-liter unit. These engines were paired with either a five-speed manual or a four-speed automatic transmission. The 214 offered a comfortable and practical interior with a spacious cabin and a usable boot. The vehicle was praised for its handling and ride comfort, particularly in its later model years when the suspension was refined. While not as sporty as its larger sibling, the 214 was praised for its fuel efficiency and affordability, making it a popular choice for first-time car buyers and families. Despite its success, the 214 was ultimately overshadowed by the more popular Rover 216, which offered a more powerful engine and a wider range of trim levels. However, the 214 remains a significant model in Rover's history, representing a step away from the company's traditional image and towards a more modern and stylish design language.
