The Rover 414, produced between 1990 and 1995, was a compact hatchback that represented a crucial juncture in the history of the British car manufacturer Rover. It was the first model to be built on the new "R8" platform, which would later underpin other popular Rover models like the 200 and 400 series. Despite its name, the 414 wasn't a distinct model but rather a trim level of the larger Rover 400 series, marking the entry point into the range. It was distinguished by its smaller, 1.4-litre engine, which was a derivative of the Honda D-series engine and offered a decent balance of fuel economy and performance for its time. The Rover 414 was designed to be a practical and affordable family car, appealing to those seeking a reliable and spacious small hatchback. It featured a roomy interior, with comfortable seating for five, and a decent boot space for luggage. It was also well-equipped for its price point, offering features such as power steering, central locking, and a cassette player. However, despite its strengths, the 414 faced stiff competition from other popular compact hatchbacks of the era such as the Ford Fiesta and the Vauxhall Corsa. While it was a reliable and reasonably priced car, it lacked the sporty handling and driving experience of its rivals. Nonetheless, the Rover 414 left its mark as a significant milestone in the company's journey, paving the way for future generations of successful Rover models.
