The Datsun brand was revived by
unveiling of GO hatchback in July this year. The prototype of the car has been
spied in Chennai doing testing rounds.
As seen in the pictures, the Datsun logo and GO monogram has only been covered unlike other test mules which have their whole body covered. That is because the car has been officially unveiled and the unveiled car is the production model and not a concept car.
Datsun GO is slated for launch
early 2014. Probably the car will be launched at Auto Expo 2014 being held in February
2014. Built on the Nissan Micra’s ‘V’
platform, the Datsun GO is aimed to cater to the lower end of the car
market. It is likely to be priced at around Rs. 4 lakh and will compete with
Maruti Wagon R, Hyundai i10 and Chevrolet Beat.
Datsun GO will be powered by the
same 1.2L petrol engine which powers the Micra and Pulse. However it is likely
to be tuned for more fuel efficiency and anything around 20Kmpl is what can be
expected from the engine. After its Indian launch, Datsun GO will be launched
in Indonesia, Russia and South Africa.
