1993–1995 Rover 100 111 Specs & Performance

The Rover 100 111 served as an entry-level model in Rover’s compact hatchback range, combining a small footprint with practical proportions and straightforward styling. Its short body and three-door layout made it convenient for urban driving, while the five-seat cabin and rear hatch provided useful space for passengers and everyday luggage. Developed from the Rover Metro, the 100 retained the lightweight character and uncomplicated layout of its predecessor. The 111 prioritised accessible motoring and manageable performance over sporty acceleration, making it a practical option for commuting and routine journeys.

For the 1993–1995 range, the Rover 100 111 used a naturally aspirated 1.1-litre inline-four petrol engine with a single overhead camshaft, eight valves, and single-point fuel injection. AutoSpecsHub lists output at 59 hp at 5,900 rpm and torque at 66 lb-ft at 3,500 rpm. A five-speed manual transmission delivered power to the front wheels. The listed chassis equipment includes MacPherson strut front suspension, trailing-arm rear suspension, solid front disc brakes, and rear drum brakes. Its compact dimensions and modest output suited everyday urban use rather than high-performance driving.
