In New Zealand, the Austin Montego was launched in 1984. The only models available were the manual 2.0-litre HLS or Mayfair versions, and only in estate form. The sedan version was not offered in New Zealand due to concerns that it would compete directly with the [[Honda Accord]], locally assembled by the [[New Zealand Motor Corporation]], which had changed from assembling BL to Honda models. Also available from 1987 the Montego sedan was sold in the Vanden Plas range with the 2.0-litre fuel-injected motor.

From about 1989 onwards, a wider range of models were imported by a new company, Rover New Zealand; this included sedan versions for the first time. Also new were the MG 2.0 range (identical to the [[MG cars|MG]] Montego sold in the UK), and all wore the MG badge. The main [[Auckland]] dealer developed an air conditioning system as an option for these models in conjunction with local specialists.<ref>[https://www.amazon.co.uk/A-Z-Cars-1980s-Martin-Lewis/dp/1901432106 ''Classic and Sports Car A-Z of Cars of the 1980s''], Martin Lewis, Bay View Books Ltd, 1998, page 91</ref>

===India===
The Montego Estate was sold in India as the Rover Montego in collaboration with [[Sipani|Sipani Automobiles]] - (the company that tried and failed to market the [[Reliant Kitten]] in India - a version of the [[Reliant Robin|Robin]] with four wheels and Triumph-inspired front suspension - as the Sipani Dolphin). The car was not a success, selling only 287 examples before being discontinued.<ref>{{cite web | work = Business | title = Britain's Rover eyes multi-utility vehicles segment in India | url = http://www.rediff.com/money/1999/dec/29cars.htm | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20170918155059/https://www.rediff.com/money/1999/dec/29cars.htm | publisher = Rediff.com | date = 1999-12-29 | archive-date = 2017-09-18 }}</ref>
