PRESSE :
MORE STYLE, SUBSTANCE AND VALUE FOR NEW ROVER 75 RANGE
MG Rover Group launches a new design style for its highly-regarded Rover 75 Saloon and Tourer models. The design embraces a sharper-edged front and rear exterior appearance, a larger integrated radiator grille, halogen projector headlamps and three distinct trim identities.
The new design style features three distinct trim identities, comprising Classic, Connoisseur and Contemporary, with SE derivatives and additional option packs that offer carefully tailored specifications across all points in the range. The established appeal of the Rover 75 range – with its unrivalled reputation as the definitive luxury premium Upper Medium saloon is further enhanced by the addition of the « Contemporary » derivative theme, providing a younger, more modern interpretation of traditional Rover values. Other features include a selection of new alloy wheel designs and options like Personal Assist – Smartnav? voice navigation and concierge service.
Rod Ramsay, Sales Operations Director, MG Rover Group, says: « These new models build on the established lineage of Rover design and will appeal to a greater cross-section of potential buyers. They offer a choice of distinct interior and exterior design themes to cater for individual taste and preference. »

Interior summary
Rover 75 Saloon and Tourer already possess one of the most admired interiors in the motoring world. With the introduction of the Classic, Connoisseur and Contemporary variants this interior is now available in three distinctive identities. In particular, Contemporary models offer an entirely new and progressive interior based around a new black oak wood finish. This provides a distinctive, younger and more continental flavour to the cabin. Full leather seat trim is standard on SE derivatives of both Connoisseur and Contemporary models.
Rear passenger entry, egress and accommodation has been improved with better foot and knee clearance from re-profiled seat cushions and squabs.
Three interiors with individual taste and choice
Classic
The 75’s Classic interior is a comfortable driving environment, creating an air of luxury with traditional Burr Walnut, set in the Ash and Light Smokestone duo-tone fascia. The famously comfortable Rover 75 seats feature upgraded Axis cloth trim, while door casings are now trimmed in high quality Tuscany fabric. Air conditioning is now standard on Classic derivatives, which also offer a CD tuner and leather steering wheel with integral volume controls.
Connoisseur
The Connoisseur trim specification brings a new light, refreshing tone to the Rover 75 fascia with a Light Oak theme. The new Light Oak finish creates a distinguished ambience reminiscent of traditional English oak panelling, an atmosphere which is further enhanced by distinctive seat piping and a choice of Sandstone Beige or Ash combined with light Smokestone interior colourways.
Standard features include fully automatic climate control, and electric front and rear windows.
The Connoisseur SE features a wood and leather steering wheel, wood manual gear knob, piped leather and heated electric seats with the added convenience of memory driver’s setting and reverse parking sensors. To help ensure the interior remains a place of pride, convenient tailored carpet mats are standard.
Contemporary
Taking a fresh direction in Rover 75 styling is the Contemporary variant, where a Black Oak theme sits perfectly with the purposeful environment of Black cloth trimmed sports-style seats and Ash interior. Fully automatic climate control, front fog lamps, a CD tuner and 16″ multi-spoke alloy wheels complete the high specification.
The highly specified Contemporary SE raises the standard equipment to even more impressive levels with attractive 17″ Starspoke alloy wheels, black leather electric seats (with driver’s memory control), windscreen rain sensor, trip computer, parking sensors and a premium Harman/Kardon hi-fi speaker system with amplifier. The innovative TrafficMaster Traffic Alert System provides real time traffic congestion warnings across the UK’s busiest routes. Carefully designed option packs with selected convenience features are available on both the Contemporary and SE derivatives to enhance ownership pleasure.
Security
For security and peace of mind, superlocking disables door and tailgate lock releases and sophisticated electronic networks stand ready to trigger the alarm. Highly convenient ˜plip’ operated remote unlocking of the boot or tailgate is now available on all derivatives, while a robust engine immobiliser and remote control with a continuously changing security code complete the anti-theft defences.
