There are several variants currently on the market, ranging from the base 1.8-litre petrol up to the 2.5-litre V6 petrol. With upwards of 170bhp the V6 is quick and surprisingly economical, returning as it does nearly 30mpg. The best compromise, however, is likely to be the 2.0-litre CDTi diesel, which isn't much slower and returns nearly 50mpg. If performance is a priority, buyers may be better off checking out the closely-related MG ZT which offers some frighteningly powerful engines.
Standard on both the base saloon and tourer you will find lots of airbags, ABS, electric windows and a CD player. Further up the range satellite navigation, heated seats, alloy wheels and parking sensors join the party. It is also the best built of Rover's current crop of cars, making the interior a comfortable and reassuring place to be. The Tourer deserves mention for its huge rear boot.
Like its smaller brother the 45, the 75 is most likely to appeal to an older clientele. It is an exceptionally well-equipped car for the price, providing a limousine experience for modest outlay.

So not many people will pay much for it, The Rover 75 design was purchased by Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation (SAIC) in early 2005, although the new MG Rover Group owner, Nanjing Automobile (Group) Corporation (NAC) acquired the tooling for the car. Both companies launched revised versions of the 75/ZT in China.
