The original 400 Series, launched as a four door saloon in April 1990, was simply a saloon version of the second generation Rover 200 Series hatchback, both sharing the codename R8 during development. With the 200 Series was launch six months earlier.
Both cars were designed in collaboration with Honda (who produced the corresponding designed for Europe Concerto model) and both models would share production lines at Rover's Longbridge facility. It used the same core structure and mechanicals as the Honda, but the rear end redesign of the glasshouse and body were unique to Rover. Interior trim and electrical architecture were all shared with the R8 Rover 200. The R8 Rover 200 and 400 were the first applications of Rover's K Series family of engines (appearing in 1.4 L (1,396 cc) twin-cam sixteen valve form). While the 1.6 litre (1,590 cc) version used either a Honda D16A6 and D16Z2 SOHC or D16A8 DOHC powerplant, while the 2.0 L M Series unit from the 800 Series followed soon afterwards (1991) in the sportier versions.
A mid life facelift (also applied to the Rover 200) saw the reintroduction of the Rover grille which had also reappeared on the R17 facelift of the Rover 800. This change was achieved without significant change to the remaining structure, but provided a more distinctive Rover family and establish a certain distance from the Honda Concerto.
An estate — or station wagon — version was subsequently developed by Rover Special Products. Badged as the 'Rover 400 Tourer', this remained in production alongside the second generation 400 until 1998
