What is the Rover 25?
The Rover 25 is a compact hatchback for everyday driving. It sat below the larger models in Rover’s range. The name marked an update to the Rover 200: the front styling took cues from the larger Rover 75, and the suspension, steering and interior were revised.
The R3 generation is listed from 2001 to 2005. The Rover 25 was a facelifted continuation of that design rather than an entirely new model, and the UK VCA range covers it through 2006.

Fuel consumption and emissions
The lowest UK VCA consumption figure for the Rover 25 is 5.2 L/100 km on the NEDC test. European ratings can differ between NEDC and WLTP procedures. The US EPA and Canadian 5-cycle tests use their own methods, so ratings from those markets are not directly comparable.
Where was the Rover 25 sold?
The UK VCA range covers the United Kingdom. The Rover 25 belongs to the final period of the Rover and MG Rover era. Its updated styling linked the compact hatchback to the rest of the Rover range, while its R3 roots connected it to the preceding Rover 200.
