1991, 1992
MSRP:$3,000 – $5,000
The Rover 200 216 GTi combines compact hatchback practicality with a naturally aspirated 16-valve petrol engine and a purposeful three-door design. Its front-wheel-drive configuration, five-seat layout, and useful luggage compartment make it a practical choice for everyday driving, while the GTi specification delivers stronger performance than a conventional economy-focused hatchback. The compact body is paired with a front-mounted transverse engine and a chassis designed around independent front and rear suspension.
The 1991–1992 Rover 200 216 GTi is powered by a 1.6-litre inline-four gasoline engine featuring single overhead camshafts, 16 valves, and multi-point fuel injection. AutoSpecsHub lists peak output at 114 hp at 6,300 rpm and maximum torque of 104 lb-ft at 5,200 rpm. A five-speed manual transmission drives the front wheels. The suspension consists of MacPherson struts at the front and a double-wishbone arrangement at the rear, with disc brakes up front and drum brakes at the rear. Listed performance figures include a 120 mph top speed and 0–60 mph acceleration in 8.9 seconds, with combined fuel economy of 28.6 mpg.
