Joint Venture Origins
The HH‑R project began after a 1991 deal between Honda and Rover, with the collaboration giving the model its HH‑R codename. This partnership meant the Rover 400 was based on Honda’s 1992 Domani platform.
Launch Strategy and Body Styles
When the HH‑R Rover 400 launched in March 1995, it was initially offered only as a five‑door hatchback. A saloon (sedan) version was introduced later, expanding the model’s appeal.
BMW’s Up‑Market Ambitions
At the time of the HH‑R’s introduction, BMW aimed to push Rover further upmarket, positioning the new 400 Series with a price point that reflected this aspiration.
