Our most refined van conversion yet — reengineered from the ground up with a new chassis, smarter space planning, and the GVW headroom serious tourers have been asking for.
When we launched the original Atom Core, the brief was straightforward: build the sharpest, most driveable van-based motorhome in the sub-6-metre class. Two generations on, that brief has grown considerably more demanding — and so has the Core G.
The “G” designation isn’t arbitrary. It marks a generational step: a new long-wheelbase Citroën Relay base, a complete interior rethink by our in-house team in Beverley, and — for the first time on a Core model — a factory-fitted solar and lithium package as standard.
Why the new chassis matters
The move to the next-gen Relay platform adds 130mm of wheelbase without meaningfully affecting overall length. In practice that’s recovered as usable lounge depth — the rear drop-down bed now sits entirely clear of the cab bulkhead, so you’re not climbing over the swivel base when the bed is deployed.
GVW moves to 3,500 kg across the range as standard, with an optional 3,850 kg plated variant for those who need the payload headroom. For a couple travelling with bikes, kayaks, or the full kit, that margin is the difference between planning a trip and compromising one.
A smarter living space
The Core G ships with a revised floor plan we’re calling the G-Plan layout a name that’s earned, not borrowed. The offside kitchen runs full-depth with a genuinely useful 80-litre compressor fridge, a three-burner hob, and a deep under-counter locker finally sized for a pressure washer or a couple of folding chairs.
The washroom has been moved aft on nearside, which sounds minor until you realise it frees up a continuous nearside wardobe run from cab to shower no more fragmented storage, no more “where does the wet kit go?”
