The Mitsuoka Nouera (光岡・ヌエラ, Mitsuoka Nuera?) 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:

  • Nouera 20ST
  • Nouera 20LX
  • Nouera 24LX

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.
