Rover 400 series Overview
The Rover 400 series is classed as a small family car and was produced by the British automobile manufacturing company the Rover Group. The 400 series was in production from 1990 to 1999 and was replaced with the Rover 45. Although these cars are marketed as small family cars, they are closer in size to mid-sized family cars. The 400 series have a really stylish interior with a lot of wood used and also uses a lot of chrome on the exterior. They are smooth rides, are very comfortable and reliable. The performance isn’t too great and the safety features are poor. Does this sound anything like your experience of this car?
Rover 400 series History
The first generation (1990-95) was the 4-door saloon version of the 200 series hatchback car. These cars were built as a joint venture between Rover and Honda, with Honda marketing this car as the Honda Concerto. The 400 series version had some distinctive Rover features and was soon available as an estate version known as the 400 Tourer. In 1993 there was a slight makeover, which mainly affected the grille design, giving it the Rover grille.
The second generation (1995-99) was available in hatchback and saloon variants. The estate version was no longer available. This version was no longer based on the 200 series and gave the car a new look. This version was rather popular in the UK. Production ceased in 1999 and the 400 series was replaced with the Rover 45.
