The Rover 214, produced from 1995 to 2005, was a compact hatchback that formed part of the Rover 200 series, marking a significant shift in design philosophy for the British automaker. This second generation of the Rover 200 series, internally known as the "R8," broke away from its predecessor's angular styling and adopted a more rounded, aerodynamic approach. The 214, positioned as the entry-level model, featured a distinctive front fascia with a prominent grille and sleek headlights, along with a sculpted side profile and rounded rear end. The interior was also given a modern refresh, offering a more ergonomically designed dashboard and a higher level of perceived quality compared to its predecessor.

Powering the Rover 214 was a range of four-cylinder petrol engines, with displacements ranging from 1.4 liters to 1.6 liters, delivering outputs from 75 hp to 110 hp. The 214 initially came equipped with a 5-speed manual transmission, with a 4-speed automatic option being introduced later in its lifespan. While the 214 could be considered a relatively basic car in terms of its features and technology, it offered a blend of practicality and affordability that appealed to a wide range of buyers. It was particularly popular among younger drivers and those looking for a reliable and economical hatchback for daily commutes and city driving. The Rover 214, though overshadowed by its more powerful siblings in the 200 series, carved a distinct niche for itself in the compact hatchback segment, offering a solid and dependable choice at a competitive price point.
