La strada launched this futuristic motorhome, the Nova, at CMT 2020. Two layouts with a length of 646cm and 699cm are available. The Nova is made of a GRP monocoque cabin mounted on the Mercedes Benz Sprinter chassis with rear or fourwheeldrive. The sophisticated construction of the extremely long lasting glassfibre reinforced plastic monocoque cabin ensures good isolation, reliable leak tightness and an elegant design.

“Granted, the realization of the new Nova took longer than we wished it would. But now we are on the verge of accomplishing our new flagship. The new la strada Nova still follows the proven concept of the GRP monocoque cabin. Apart from that we have developed a completely new vehicle in which many suggestions from our customers and business partners have been incorporated,” says Marco Lange, Managing Director and owner of la strada Fahrzeugbau GmbH. “We are convinced that we will pursue the success of our top product range with the new Nova. The new Nova fulfils our highest requirements of quality, comfort and equipment of a compact motorhome.”

The superstructure of the Nova showcases a one cast cabin without locking ledges, handles or hinges on the exterior traps. The entrance door of the GRP buildup is significantly wider than before. The slightly darkened windows fit perfectly aligned within the appearance of the motorhome. A large rear window brings light and air in the interior and adhere seamlessly to the harmonious lines of the GRP monocoque cabin.

The Nova M features a floorplan with three sleeping places: a length side mounted towaway bed above the seating group and a second single bed crosswise in the rear above the garage. With a wheelbase of 366cm the motorhome remains easy to manoeuvre. The Nova M has a gross vehicle weight of 4,100kg offering a payload of 920 kilograms. This also offers the possibility of putting the vehicle on a 3,500kg basis with a payload of 320 kilograms.

The Nova EB features joinablesingle beds in the rear and storage compartments above the seating group in the front. This 699cm long van is built on the 433cm wheelbase Mercedes Benz Sprinter. With a permissible total weight of 4,1t, 710 kg payload is possible.

Both Nova models feature four 3point safety belt seatings as well as one Isofix fastening seating place with top tether for a child’s seat. Furthermore, the standard equipment includes SKA comfort seats with pneumatic lumbar support and heating system in the cabin as well as an incorporated awning on the left side above the entrance door. A stronger engine, fourwheeldrive, ten different paintings, ten wood colours, thirteen wooden decors for the trap doors, 115 different leather, leather/ fabric combinations and fabric varieties as well as an extensive option list are possible.

The starting price is around EUR100k.
