	The Car Enthusiast \| News \| Rover CityRover \| Rover launches the CityRover - crucial new small car
		Strangely enough, during the introduction of the CityRover, its country of origin was omitted, as was any mention of Tata.

		And so whereas knowing that the new CityRover is, in fact, a lightly reskinned Indian hatchback called the Tata Indica will no doubt have people giggling, it should actually serve as a point of reassurance.
		CityRover is a poignant reminder of how indulgent European small cars have become, and so it stands to reason that whether you will like or despise it depends entirely on where your sub-supermini priorities lie.
		Subscribe to the marshmallow-plastic-titillation that the established players are now offering inside, and the CityRover’s cabin serves as a reminder of how it used to be done.

		The detail improvements to the old CityRover that had been prepared by Rover's partner Tata, which made the car in India, were due to be released to the market just when MG Rover was going bust.
		On the road the CityRover is surprisingly refined, considering, and doesn't feel underpowered in the way a Proton Savvy or Chevrolet Matiz does, to mention two budget rivals.
		This is due partly to the fact that the CityRover was a pretty straightforward design in the first place, but it will be more to do with Tata itself coming to the UK before too long with its original Indica, plus its estate derivative and various pick ups and SUVs.

	CityRover: India To The Midlands
		The bodywork is fairly high-set, with the rear seat passengers sitting a little higher than those in front, and it has the advantage, especially down at the bottom of its price range, of coming exclusively with five doors.
		The wheels and tyres are bigger, the damper and spring rates have been altered, and the CityRover sits lower to the ground.
		Once the CityRover turns up for UK testing, the big question will almost certainly be about build quality.

	Guardian \| Basic instinct
		New from Rover, the CityRover appears to have been named after a cut-price bus ticket, and it operates on pretty much the same principles.
		You can, of course, use your CityRover for journeys on the open road beyond the city boundaries, but you will pay an additional tariff in the form of a really uncomfortable time, both physically and psychologically.
		Built expressly as a thin-shelled, tight-circling, easy-to-manoeuvre urban runabout, the CityRover, much like your local Hoppa service, is not principally about comfort and safety over the long haul.

		The CityRover will be sold across UK and Europe through the Rover network while Tata Motors will independently sell Tata branded Indicas through its network in Europe.

		The CityRover version of the Tata Indica goes on sale this month, taking Rover back into a market sector the company abandoned in 1997 when the Metro-based 100 went out of production.
		That being so, it's a surprise that the new model isn't being given a full-scale media launch.
		Built only in five-door form, and always with the 83bhp 1405cc engine, the CityRover has some exterior styling changes as well as more of a Rover look and feel to the interior than is the case with the Indica.
