Detailed analysis of the Rover Streetwise 1.8 CVT SE 5p (117 CV) · 117 CV (2004-2006)
General description
The 2004 Rover 25 Streetwise 1.8 CVT SE is an interesting proposition that sought to combine the agility of a compact car with an adventurous touch. With its 117 hp gasoline engine and automatic transmission, it promised a comfortable and versatile driving experience for daily use and occasional getaways.
Driving experience
Behind the wheel, the Rover 25 Streetwise offers a smooth driving sensation thanks to its automatic CVT transmission, ideal for the city. The 1.8-liter, 117 hp engine provides adequate, though not sporty, response, with an acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 10.5 seconds. The suspension, McPherson type at the front and trailing arm with torsional element at the rear, seeks a balance between comfort and stability, although its higher stance could slightly influence high-speed cornering behavior. The combined consumption of 8.3 l/100km is reasonable for its time and engine type.
Design and aesthetics
The design of the Rover 25 Streetwise is distinguished by its 'crossover' aesthetic within the compact segment. With a slightly elevated height and robust details, such as the wheel arches and bumpers, it aims to convey a more adventurous and youthful image than the standard Rover 25. Its 5 doors and compact dimensions (3980 mm long) make it practical for the city, while its 304-liter trunk offers decent capacity for daily use. The 16-inch wheels with 205/50 R16 V tires complement its appearance.
Technology and features
In terms of technology, the 2004 Rover 25 Streetwise 1.8 CVT SE incorporates a 1795 cc gasoline engine with indirect injection and 4 valves per cylinder, made of aluminum. The automatic CVT (continuously variable transmission) is a prominent feature, offering seamless driving. Regarding safety, it has front disc brakes and rear drum brakes. Power steering facilitates maneuvers, although its exact type is not specified. In general, the technology focuses on functionality and ease of use.
Competition
At the time, the Rover 25 Streetwise competed with other compacts that sought a differentiating touch or a more robust aesthetic, such as the Volkswagen Polo Fun or the Fiat Stilo Uproad, although these arrived somewhat later. It also faced traditional compacts like the Ford Fiesta, Opel Corsa, or Renault Clio, offering an alternative with a more distinctive style and an automatic transmission that not all its rivals offered as standard in similar configurations.
Conclusion
The 2004 Rover 25 Streetwise 1.8 CVT SE is a vehicle that, despite its age, retains a particular charm. Its combination of a capable engine, a comfortable automatic transmission, and a design with 'crossover' aspirations make it an interesting option for those looking for a compact with personality. Although its fuel consumption is not the lowest and its performance is not sporty, it offers a pleasant and practical driving experience for daily use, with a touch of distinction that sets it apart from other models in its segment.
