Developed and built-in India, City Rover is exactly what it says about the name plate; a Rover for city driving. The compact four seater is really a pleasing little package – especially since early quality issues happen to be overcome – and utilizes a 1.4 litre engine which endows the vehicle with smart acceleration.

The lack of a diesel variant sometimes appears as a weakness, but an enthusiastic price point allows the vehicle to compete against established rivals from Korea like the Daewoo Matiz and Hyundai Getz.

When there is a flaw within the package it’s the absence of a diesel variant – this really is unlikely to become remedied in the future, as budgets are extremely restricted.
