The Rover 214 and 414 were compact cars produced by the British automotive manufacturer Rover from 1995 to 2005. These models were part of the second generation of the Rover 200 series, replacing the original 200 and 400 models. The 214 and 414 were essentially the same car, differing primarily in engine size and trim levels. The 214 was powered by a 1.4-liter K-Series engine, while the 414 featured a larger 1.6-liter engine. Both models offered a choice of three-door hatchback and five-door hatchback body styles, with the 414 also available as a four-door saloon.

The Rover 214 and 414 were known for their sharp styling, spacious interiors, and comfortable ride. They were equipped with a range of features, including power steering, electric windows, and a CD player. The cars featured a MacPherson strut front suspension and a semi-independent rear suspension, providing a good balance between handling and ride comfort. Despite their positive features, the Rover 214 and 414 struggled to compete in the increasingly competitive compact car market. Their reliability was often questioned, and they faced stiff competition from European rivals such as the Ford Fiesta and Volkswagen Polo. Ultimately, the Rover 214 and 414 were discontinued in 2005, marking the end of the Rover 200 series. However, they remain a popular choice for budget-minded drivers seeking a comfortable and capable compact car.
