Datsun K2 small car to have innovative features which makes it different from its rivals.
Datsun
is the word currently going around in the automobile world and why not, the
iconic brand is making a strong comeback after 27 years. ‘DAT’ meaning
“lightning fast” in Japanese, is what happening the brand itself. Right from
concept to design to prototype to production engineering, everything has been
done very fast. The man behind the Datsun come back Mr. Carlos Gohsh is
emphatic about the Datsun’s re-birth. No wonder Mr. Gohsn has been given an
extension of 2 years as Chairman of Nissan Renault alliance by its board
members.
In
its website www.datsun.com, it is mentioned DAT means - Dream, Access and
Trust, the philosophy on which Datsun wants to capitalize on. The website also
mentions about a car built for the new generations and couple of questions why
now? and why Datsun? Wait till 15th of July and watch the live telecast of the
car launch on Datsun’s official website.
The
prototype of the small car has been showed to a band of Indian automobile
journalists. According to them, the Datsun small car is big, beautiful and
practicle compared to its competitors Maruti A Star, Wagon R and Hyundai i10.
An interesting fact has come to light that Datsun’s small car will have bench
seats in the front accommodating 3 passengers in comfort. As a result the gear
shift lever and hand brakes have been pushed to the dashboard, all these
features seen for the first time in India in a small car.
Datsun
currently has two products in its pipeline for India and emerging markets like
South Africa, Indonesia and Russia. Apart from the small car K2 (the codename
of the first car), Datsun intends to bring in Nissan Dayz, a mini MPV to India
sometime later. Datsun cars will roll out from Renault-Nissan’s factory at
Chennai.
With
so much of hype about Datsun, can we expect an automobile revolution as that of
the Tata Nano? We feel yes, because Mr. Gohsn is very serious about Indian
market and is the only person looking to rival the market leader Maruti Suzuki…
