1.4 is the only engine option and it makes the CityRover more muscular (comparatively speaking) than any rivals. Here’s one city car than doesn’t feel out of its depth out on the motorway.

Fine for poodling about in but poor surfaces soon show up the limitations of its hard ride. Drive one in a hurry and it lurches about, although does offer reasonable grip.
