Nomad prices in the U.K. will start at £33,000 including sales taxes (about $50,000 USD at current exchange rates)
The Nomad shares the Atom’s combination of a mid-mounted, transverse four-cylinder engine and rear-wheel drive but will get the bigger 2.4-liter Honda unit. The official figures are 235 hp and 221 lb-ft. Weighing just 1480 pounds, it’s barely slower than an Atom, with a quoted 3.4 seconds from zero to 60 mph and a top speed of 125 mph.
The approach angle is a healthy 71 degrees and that the maximum departure angle is a practically trail-rated 82 degrees. The only real surprise is that, despite those chunky 235/75R-15 off-road tires, it won’t have power steering.
