Vehicle model
Rover Gamme Rover - électrique/hybride
Since Rover ceased all production in April 2005, the brand never launched a production hybrid or electric model. Its catalog remained made up entirely of gasoline and diesel combustion engines. The transition to electrification, which became central to the automotive industry during the 2010s and 2020s, therefore took place well after Rover's disappearance; no electrified Rover car was ever marketed. The brands that inherited its heritage, such as Land Rover under Jaguar Land Rover (Tata Motors), have since developed hybrid and electric versions, but under other names. For the Quebec buyer, the takeaway is that there is no electric or hybrid Rover on the market: any Rover on the road here is an older internal-combustion vehicle, whose tire and wheel needs match the brand's sedans (15- to 17-inch wheels, winter tires mandatory in winter).

Les Rover récentes (séries 25, 45, 75) sont des berlines et compactes de taille moyenne, généralement chaussées en jantes de 15 à 17 pouces ; la Rover 75 utilise un entraxe 5x100, alors que de plus petits modèles recourent souvent à un 4x100. Les dimensions de pneus se situent dans les plages courantes des berlines européennes (autour de 195 à 205 de largeur selon les versions). S'agissant de véhicules anciens et rares ici, vérifiez toujours l'entraxe, l'alésage central et le déport exacts avant tout achat de jantes. Au Québec, des pneus d'hiver homologués sont obligatoires : prévoyez un montage hiver adapté à la taille d'origine.
