Nissan's reborn Datsun teases first model
Nissan has released a lone teaser image of the car that will spearhead the return of the Datsun brand in emerging markets all around the world.
The teaser images reveals little about the yet-unnamed car, but it confirms that it will wear a trapezoidal grille and angular headlights.
Nissan previously confirmed that the first Datsun-badged car of the 21st century will ride on a modified Lada Kalina platform. It will adopt a four-door body style and it will share almost no body parts with the nine-year old Kalina hatchback.
Cost-cutting is the name of the game with the upcoming Datsun so its interior will likely be even more basic than that of the no-frills Kalina.
Precise technical details are not available but Nissan has confirmed that the sedan's engines are being developed in Russia by Lada. Both gasoline- and diesel-burning mills are expected to be on offer.
Scheduled to make its public debut in 2014, the Datsun sedan will be built in the AvtoVAZ factory in Togliatti, Russia, and in a new facility located in Indonesia. It will be sold in Russia, Indonesia, India and South Africa for anywhere between $3,000 and $5,000 depending on what equipment it is packed with.
Since Datsun was exhumed exclusively to sell low-cost cars, Nissan does not plan on re-launching the brand in the United States or in Europe.
If the pricing is correct as per above source will we get an entry level sedan for less than 2 lacs in India ..
Cheers,
