Datsun Go T (O) and Datsun Go Plus T (O) are priced at INR 4.19 lakhs and INR 4.81 lakhs (ex-showroom Delhi) respectively. This is INR 15,000 dearer than the current top of the line T variant; but considerably increases Datsun Go safety featyres. Save for the airbag, the equipment level stays intact. In order to achieve a very aggressive price tag, Nissan’s sub brand has bestowed its compact people carrier only with bare essentials.
Go Plus is essentially a stretched version of Go hatchback with an additional row of seats. With no real direct competition, the low-cost MPV has been doing good to steadily uplift the brand’s monthly sales in India since its launch.
Both cars are underpinned by Nissan’s V-platform (Versatile) which also caters to Micra, Sunny and their respective Renault twins. Power comes from a 1.2-litre three-cylinder 12-valve petrol engine which is good for 68 PS. Mated to a 5-speed transmission, the 7-seater returns an impressive ARAI rated fuel economy of 20.6 kmpl.
The addition of driver side airbag at a nominal price should go well with safety conscious customers. Offering optional ABS (reportedly in the works) would also go a long way in earning customers’ trust.
Datsun Go Plus T (O) adds driver air bag for a reasonable price of INR 15,000.Meanwhile, Datsun is working on to launch third and most affordable model in India next year. Based on the redi-Go concept previewed at Auto Expo 2015, the new A-segment hatchback will be closely related to and will bring a crossover appeal to the INR 3-4 lakh segment.
