1993–1995 Rover 200 216 SLi Specs & Performance

The Rover 200 216 SLi is a five-door compact hatchback with a naturally aspirated 1.6-litre petrol engine, front-wheel drive, and seating for five occupants. Its 12.4-cubic-foot luggage compartment provides practical storage for everyday journeys, while the transverse engine layout makes efficient use of the car’s compact dimensions. The chassis uses MacPherson strut front suspension and double-wishbone rear suspension, combining a conventional front-wheel-drive arrangement with independent suspension at both ends. The SLi offers a practical balance of passenger space, manageable dimensions, and straightforward mechanical engineering.
