Ground clearance is 140 mm and the fuel tank is 50 L on every version.

People searching for rover maestro, rover maestro diesel, rover maestro turbo, rover maestro parts, or used-car phrasing will find the facts below tied to the exact version names in the database. This article does not list asking prices or classified ads: those figures are not in the source data.

Generations

1 generation is the only generation in this dataset. It ran from 1991-01-01 to 1997-12-31. The body type is Hatchback 5-door. The generation contains 3 modifications: 1.3 MT, 1.6 MT, and 2.0 MT. Each of those versions is itself dated 1991-01-01 to 1997-12-31. There is no restyling listed as a separate generation.

Engines and specs

Every version uses 4 cylinders, Inline layout, 2 valves per cylinder, Front, transverse mounting, Manual 5-speed gearbox, and FWD.

1.3 MT is the smallest Gasoline engine: 1275 displacement, compression 9.75, bore × stroke 70.64 × 81.28, Carburetor, fuel grade 95. Peak power is 69 hp / 51 kW at 5600 rpm; peak torque is 102 Nm at 3500 rpm. Boost: No.

1.6 MT is the stronger Gasoline engine: 1598 displacement, compression 9.7, bore × stroke 76.2 × 87.6, Carburetor, fuel grade 95. Peak power is 86 hp / 63 kW at 5600 rpm; peak torque is 132 Nm at 3500 rpm. Boost: No. Versus 1.3 MT, 1.6 MT has 17 hp more (86 − 69) and 30 Nm more (132 − 102), with 323 extra displacement (1598 − 1275).

2.0 MT is the Diesel version people look up as rover maestro diesel. Displacement is 1994, compression 20, bore × stroke 84.46 × 89, fuel Diesel, boost Turbo. Peak power is 60 hp / 44 kW at 4500 rpm; peak torque is 121 Nm at 2500 rpm. Fuel system is not measured. 2.0 MT has the largest displacement but the lowest peak horsepower of the three: 9 hp less than 1.3 MT (69 − 60) and 26 hp less than 1.6 MT (86 − 60). Torque sits between the two petrol versions: 19 Nm above 1.3 MT (121 − 102) and 11 Nm below 1.6 MT (132 − 121). Peak torque arrives 1000 rpm earlier than on either Gasoline version (2500 vs 3500).

Chassis hardware is the same wording on all three: front suspension Independent, spring; rear suspension Semi-independent, spring; front brakes disc; rear brakes Drum. Wheel size is not measured on 1.3 MT, 1.6 MT, and 2.0 MT.

Performance and economy

1.3 MT: 0–100 in 12.5 s; top speed 154 km/h. Fuel use: city 7.8, highway 5.6, combined 7.8. Tank 50 L. CO2 not measured. Eco class not measured.

1.6 MT: 0–100 in 10.5 s; top speed 167 km/h. Fuel use: city 8.9, highway 5.3, combined 7.3. Tank 50 L. CO2 not measured. Eco class not measured.

2.0 MT: 0–100 in 16 s; top speed 150 km/h. Fuel use: city 5.9, highway 4.4, combined 6.2. Tank 50 L. CO2 not measured. Eco class not measured.

1.6 MT is the quickest and fastest: 2.0 s quicker to 100 than 1.3 MT (12.5 − 10.5) and 5.5 s quicker than 2.0 MT (16 − 10.5). Top speed on 1.6 MT is 13 km/h above 1.3 MT (167 − 154) and 17 km/h above 2.0 MT (167 − 150). 2.0 MT is the slowest to 100 and has the lowest top speed.

On combined consumption, 2.0 MT at 6.2 uses 1.1 less than 1.6 MT at 7.3 and 1.6 less than 1.3 MT at 7.8. City figures: 2.0 MT 5.9, 1.3 MT 7.8, 1.6 MT 8.9. Highway: 2.0 MT 4.4, 1.6 MT 5.3, 1.3 MT 5.6. Combined on 1.3 MT matches its city figure at 7.8; that is the number in the data, not an omitted highway blend.

MPG-style questions map to these three consumption columns. There is no separate US-gallon conversion in the source, so the figures stay as given.

Dimensions and weight

Body type for the generation: Hatchback 5-door. Ground clearance is 140 mm on 1.3 MT, 1.6 MT, and 2.0 MT. Tank is 50 L on all three. Wheel sizes are not measured on all three.

1.3 MT: kerb 925; gross 1370. Payload span from those two figures is 445 (1370 − 925).

1.6 MT: kerb 975; gross 1440. That is 50 more kerb than 1.3 MT (975 − 925) and 70 more gross (1440 − 1370). Payload span is 465 (1440 − 975).

2.0 MT: kerb 1095; gross 1560. That is 170 more kerb than 1.3 MT (1095 − 925) and 120 more than 1.6 MT (1095 − 975). Gross is 190 above 1.3 MT (1560 − 1370) and 120 above 1.6 MT (1560 − 1440). Payload span is 465 (1560 − 1095), the same arithmetic gap as 1.6 MT.

No exterior length, width, height, wheelbase, or tyre size is in the data. Those dimensions are not measured.

Which version to choose

All three versions share FWD, Manual 5, 140 mm clearance, 50 L tank, 4 Inline cylinders Front, transverse, 2 valves per cylinder, disc front / Drum rear brakes, and the same suspension labels. Choice is therefore engine, mass, and the measured performance numbers.

Choose 1.3 MT if the priority is the lightest kerb (925) and the smallest Gasoline engine (1275, 69 hp, 102 Nm). It is 2.0 s slower to 100 than 1.6 MT and 4 km/h faster at the top than 2.0 MT (154 − 150). Combined fuel 7.8 is the highest of the three. Boost is No; feed is Carburetor; fuel 95.

Choose 1.6 MT if the priority is the highest power and the shortest 0–100. 86 hp and 132 Nm, 10.5 s to 100, 167 km/h top speed. Combined 7.3 sits between 1.3 MT and 2.0 MT. City 8.9 is the highest city figure. Kerb 975 is 50 above 1.3 MT. Boost No; Carburetor; fuel 95.

Choose 2.0 MT if the search is rover maestro diesel / rover maestro turbo in the sense of the Diesel Turbo listed here. 1994 displacement, 60 hp at 4500 rpm, 121 Nm at 2500 rpm, compression 20, fuel Diesel. Combined 6.2, city 5.9, highway 4.4 are the lowest consumption figures. The trade-off is the slowest 0–100 (16 s), the lowest top speed (150), and the highest kerb (1095). Fuel system is not measured.

Queries such as rover maestro van, rover maestro clubman, rover maestro clubman d, and rover maestro ledbury are common search strings. This dataset lists only the Hatchback 5-door generation and the three versions 1.3 MT, 1.6 MT, and 2.0 MT. No van, Clubman, or Ledbury trim is in the source, so those names are not treated as extra catalogue rows here. Rover maestro parts likewise has no parts list in the data; the mechanical facts that are measured are the engine, gearbox, drive, suspension, brakes, weights, clearance, and tank figures above.

Reliability and problems are not scored in the source. What is measured is the specification set: three Manual FWD hatchbacks from 1991-01-01 to 1997-12-31, two Gasoline Carburetor engines without boost, one Diesel Turbo, wheels not measured, CO2 not measured, eco class not measured.
