14 April 1999

Rover Cars has announced ten new additions to both the Rover 200 and Rover 400 ranges. Three distinctive themes are introduced to reflect different aspects of both vehicles.

The iS provides a sporting package, while luxury and comfort is presented by the iL models. Outstanding value for money is offered by the SEi. Each is available in a choice of body styles and the editions are powered by a variety of engines.

Each of the three new derivatives are identified by distinctive wheels and unique trim combinations. The new 200 and 400 iS, iL and SEi widen the 200 and 400 ranges, thus ensuring that there is a model to suit all motoring requirements.
