The Rover 200 216 GTi is a compact three-door hatchback that combines everyday practicality with a naturally aspirated petrol engine and a driver-focused mechanical layout. Its front-wheel-drive configuration and transverse engine arrangement make efficient use of the available space, while the cabin accommodates five occupants and provides 12.4 cubic feet of luggage capacity. Independent suspension at both ends and disc brakes on all four wheels give the car a specification suited to confident road handling. With its restrained hatchback format, the 216 GTi offers a practical alternative to larger performance-oriented cars.
The 1993–1994 Rover 200 216 GTi is powered by a naturally aspirated 1.6-litre inline-four gasoline engine featuring double overhead camshafts, 16 valves, and multi-point fuel injection. AutoSpecsHub lists peak power at 120 hp at 6,800 rpm and maximum torque of 103 lb-ft at 5,700 rpm. A five-speed manual transmission sends power to the front wheels. The chassis uses MacPherson strut front suspension and double-wishbone rear suspension, with ventilated front disc brakes and solid rear disc brakes. Listed performance figures include a 122 mph top speed and 0–60 mph acceleration in 9.2 seconds, while combined fuel economy is rated at 28.3 mpg.
