Sales Start For New Streetwise
Published: 23rd August 2003
Streetwise is robust, versatile and stylish, a small car that’s fun to drive, handy in traffic, easy to park and able to shrug off hard use. It has elements of an SUV, with good ground clearance and ruggedness but without the low economy and complexity of 4x4 transmission. At the same time, it offers good all-round performance and capability.
The Streetwise is a bold new extension to Rover’s small car range offering a distinctive new driving experience. With an ‘urban-tough’ attitude, Streetwise has larger wheels and raised suspension for better ground clearance and a more commanding driving position. For extra toughness and durability, it has robust moulded bumpers, wheelarch protectors and rubbing strips all in a scratch-resistant dark grey-grained finish. Standard fit roof bars on all models complete a stylish-looking profile and offer versatile load carrying to complement the spacious interior and boot.
Inside, Streetwise has a unique rear-seat configuration, with individual sports seats. A central console with storage space runs the full length of the cabin, dividing the passenger space, to give a cosseted environment.
