Datsun
(DAT-GO), one of the oldest car manufacturing companies in the world
was first started almost a century ago in the year 1914. Nissan's
founding father has took over DAT-GO (DAT-Car) in the year 1933 with a
vision of “mobility to all”. In early 1930's, Nissan changed the name to
Datson from DAT-GO, which was later changed to Datsun. This company
introduced this economical, lightweight yet resilient car to the
automobile industry to meet the aspirations of young car enthusiasts.
Datsun has gained the popularity with its Datsun 510 sedan and Datsun
Fairlady roadster. After selling over a 20 million cars across 190
countries, Nissan had officially phased out the Datsun in the year 1986
from all the world automobile markets. Now once again, the Japanese
multinational automobile company, Nissan has officially announced the
return of this charming Datsun brand, which is the third global brand
for the company alongside Nissan and Infinity. The company has
officially unveiled the Datsun GO hatchback for Indian car market, which
is expected to be reasonably priced under Rs. 4.0 lakh (ex showroom New
Delhi). The company is expected to start selling this new hatchback in
the early 2014, which is just about few more months away from now. This
upcoming hatchback has already created a buzz around the Indian
automobile market. Datsun GO is a low cost hatchback from Nissan which
is expected to carry a performance packed 1.2-litre petrol engine, which
is currently under the hood of the Nissan Micra Active. Rumors suggest
that the Nissan could phase out the newly launched Nissan Micra Active
model line up to make way for the upcoming Datsun GO hatchback series in
the Indian automobile market. This hatchback will occupy the low cost
four-wheeler segment in the country and will compete with the most
successful car models like Hyundai i10, Maruti WagonR and many such
other contenders. The company has not revealed the official launch date
or the exact price of this hatch and there are no official announcements
regarding the features as well as other specifications. The company has
announced that this hatch will arrive as early as 2014, which could be
in the month of either January or February. While unveiling Datsun GO
hatch, the company has disclosed some of the details regarding the size
of its engine and its dimensions. Also it said in a statement that this
four-wheeler will carry a price tag of under Rs. 4.0 lakh , which should help the manufacturer to rise above the market competition.
Datsun GO has got a very attractive and next generation body design that will surely capture the attention of budget car buyers. From its frontage, it will look like a Volvo sedan and from rear, it has the cues of Nissan Micra. This four-wheeler is expected to receive 13 inch or 14 inch wheels fitted to its wheel arches . On the other hand, the interiors of this hatch is very decent unlike the rest of the four-wheelers in its segment. The company seems to have opted to remove some of the features inside the car in order price it under Rs. 4.0 lakh. However, it hasn't compromised on the important features in order to make it more competitive in the entry level segment. The company has designed this small car on an impressive wheelbase of about 2450mm, which should contribute for the creating more space inside the cabin hence providing better comforts for the passengers. Ultimately, this hatch is expected to create tough times for the industry leaders like MSIL and Hyundai in the coming year. This Datsun Go hatchback is expected to be sold from the same authorized dealerships, which are selling the Nissan cars. But there might be a specific place given to this new hatch with all frills and fancy items to promote it. All these and many more such information still has to be revealed, but at the same time there is a lot of curiosity among the populace as the tag 'low cost' is definitely going to attract a lot of attention from all walks of people in the country. What exactly the company is planning and what all is going to come integrated in this Datsun Go hatchback will be gradually known, till then its only a case of wait and watch for all the prospective buyers in the country.
As of now, there are no official figures regarding the mileage and fuel economy of the upcoming Datsun GO. However, as it coming with the 1.2-litre petrol trim manufactured by Nissan , we can expect that Datsun GO may come with an ability to return a healthy mileage in the range of about 19 Kmpl to 20 Kmpl. This upcoming hatch is expected to come with a lightweight body, which should further improve its fuel efficiency. The company is also expected to equip this hatchback with a proficient fuel supply system, which will also help in further boosting the fuel efficiency of this yet to be launched hatchback.
