Re: Datsun: Auto Expo 2014

Press release on Datsun at Auto Expo:
For the first time in the brand's history, Datsun is participating at the 12th Delhi Auto Expo 2014 displaying its full launch line-up for up-and-coming customers in India. In addition to the Datsun GO hatchback unveiled in July 2013, the seven-seater Datsun GO+ is announced as a second model for the Indian market.

Datsun redi-GO CONCEPT- a possible future direction for the brand
Underlining the importance of the Indian market for the company, Datsun showcases the brand new Datsun redi-GO CONCEPT which will give visitors a glimpse of Datsun's potential future. The name of the new concept reflects the idea behind it - the car pushes the boundaries of tomorrow, ready to go anywhere and explore the unchallenged.

Although just a concept, it is undoubtedly functional with a high seating position and high eye-point, translating into good visibility, giving easy command of the traffic situation and confidence. Its body-type and high ground clearance make the car ready for tough road conditions providing peace of mind in any type of journeys.

The Datsun redi-GO CONCEPT represents independence and a clear mark of success for the new generation of young customers. Its modern crossover style and bright lime body-colour give it a head-turning presence on the road.

Datsun GO+ is confirmed as a second model in the Datsun range for India
To expand the variety of choice for the customers, Datsun announced the Datsun GO+ seven-seater as the second model for India. The Datsun GO+ is a move-able cozy family lounge able to accommodate all family members in one car for the journey. The light-weight car is equipped with a 1.2L engine and 5-speed manual transmission, tuned for fuel efficiency and good acceleration, whilst delivering agility on congested roads. The car will be produced at the Alliance factory in Oragadam, Chennai with production and sales to begin in the second half of 2014.

Datsun GO - a new modern choice for up-and-coming aspirational customers in India
The Datsun GO, unveiled in July 2013, will take the dominant place at Delhi Auto Expo and will be presented in its full line-up of body colours that will be available at the start of sales - blue, white, silver and red. The Datsun GO is powered by a lightweight, lively 1.2-litre three-cylinder engine providing class leading fuel efficiency. Earlier this week production of the car started at the Renault Nissan Alliance plant at Oragadam, near Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India, with first deliveries to customers planned in March 2014.

To make the choice wider and provide an opportunity for customers to personalize their cars, Datsun will offer a wide variety of accessories: from spoilers, body side moldings and alloy wheels, to fog lamps, exhaust finishers, LED kick plate, glowing logo emblem and many more. Customers will also be able to choose a variety of interior personalization items (including seat covers, floor carpet mats and mood lights) to create their preferred ambience inside the car.

Datsun GO will be offered with two year unlimited warranty.

Good coverage as usual.

few things to not about Go and Go Concept.

- The concept car looks very cute and Nissan can easily position as mini SUV.

- Go hatch back there are few cheap things e.g. mobile holder. No idea who designed the handbrake lever as 1990 Tata Sumo.

- The production version (from the other thread) misses alloy wheels and fog lamps.

- The wheels look puny compared to the wheel wells.

Significant points already mentioned by Anshuman.

Even I liked the cute mini SUV (If it really is). As for the MPV version of GO, it does seem to be good strategy since it can earn good revenues for the company being a cheapest car of the segment (If Datsun prices it that way). Though it looks terrible, but again, there are many ugly cars topping the sales chart in India.

May be I am wrong but I felt its too small to be even called the mini SUV(redi-go). May be seeing it in flesh will change my view.

Datson Go seems more like nissan micra/ renault pulse.

The MPV may do good rounds of bucks.
