Mitsuoka Nouera
Encyclopedia
The is a car model from the Japanese car brand Mitsuoka
. The Nouera is a 4 door saloon model, based on the Honda Accord. The front and rear styling is modified: a chrome grille and twin circular headlamps have been added at the front to give the car classic English
looks, and differently-shaped rear lights have been used. The interior is similar to the Accord's, with wood trim and leather seats available.
There are 3 models:
Both 20ST and 20LX have 4WD or FWD, with a 2.0l DOHC i-VTEC engine (152 or 155eHP). The 24LX model has only FWD with the 2.4l DOHC i-VTEC engine (200eHP). The 24LX has 16" rims where the 20ST/LX has 15" as standard. Length of both models is 4860 mm. Wheelbase is 2670 mm.
The Nouera was of a similar size to the original Galue
and Ryoga, and seems to provide an alternative to both models.
The Nouera was the first non-keicar made by Mitsuoka that was not based on a Nissan model. At this time Nissan's main competitor with the Accord (the Primera) had unusually futuristic styling; a Mitsuoka version of the contemporary Primera may have been too difficult to style harmoniously.
