This innovative vehicle was the brainchild of British Leyland, a company struggling to stay afloat in a rapidly changing market. The Metro was designed with a radical front-wheel drive layout and a lightweight, space-efficient body, aiming to directly compete with the dominant European hatchbacks like the Volkswagen Golf and Ford Fiesta. Its success was driven by a combination of factors: affordability, fuel efficiency, and a playful driving experience. The Metro, though originally overshadowed by the iconic Mini, quickly gained popularity, becoming a familiar sight on British roads and even contributing to the revival of the MG brand. The MG Metro's impact extended beyond its commercial success.
