STYLISH AND MODERN NEW CITYROVER ON SALE AND IN UK SHOWROOMS

PRODUCT IN DETAIL
New CityRover
CityRover is an attractive modern ‘city sector’ car that provides a highly competitive value-for-money blend of space, performance and specification in the £6,500 to sub £9,000 price band. Though compact, easy to drive and park, it has a roomy and user-friendly ‘tall’ package, with easy access for all ages. The new model will be sold through all MG Rover dealers and benefits from the regular three-year/60,000 mile warranty and 6-year anti-perforation cover.

Competing in the newly emerging City car stream of the small car sector, the CityRover is in competition with products like the Ford Ka, Peugeot 106, Hyundai Getz and the Citroen C2.

The alliance with Tata Motors was formed following the desire by MG Rover Group to return to the City car sector, since the production of the popular Metro/ Rover 100 finished in 1997. The CityRover is intended to appeal to cost conscious people who appreciate style and quality within this city car sector.

CityRover Range

The CityRover range comprises four trim levels, all with 1.4-litre petrol engine, five speed manual transmission and five-doors. The straightforward, but carefully researched range structure begins with the CityRover Solo, a remarkably well-equipped entry-level car. The range then offers two parallel mid-price choices, the CityRover Sprite (with the emphasis on sporting style) and CityRover Select (with emphasis on luxury). As a top of the range model, the CityRover Style offers the full array of features and even the option of a full leather trim package.

Sporting features of the ‘Sprite’ model include alloy wheels, leather sports style steering wheel, front fog lamps, body coloured side sill extensions and rear spoiler. Luxury features on the ‘Select’ model include front and rear electric windows plus air conditioning as standard.

Both ‘Sprite’ and ‘Select’ have power steering, remote central locking, a tachometer and a CD/Tuner. All these features are included on the top model, the ‘Style’, which also benefits from anti-lock braking and a passenger airbag.

Paint choices include two solid and eight optional metallic/pearlescent colours.

Design

The exterior changes include new front and rear bumpers and the inclusion of the distinctive Rover integral front grille, with bright chrome finisher. CityRover has been
