USER OPINION

Latest Updates
Monday, 16 September 2024 06:22 AM Datsun has released a teaser image of the updated redi-GO hatchback, but its important to note that the Datsun GO and GO+ have also seen recent updates. The 2018 models of the GO and GO+ received styling tweaks and improved interiors. The GO hatchback also gained a CVT gearbox, enhancing its transmission options. I think this move will make the GO more appealing to a wider audience.
Tuesday, 06 August 2024 03:47 PM The Datsun GO and GO+ have been enhanced with safety features such as ABS across all variants, and the driver-side airbag is now available on the range-topping trim. Additional features like seatbelt reminders, high-speed warnings, and rear parking sensors are expected to be added soon. This focus on safety is a positive step for Datsun.
Thursday, 11 July 2024 01:43 PM Datsun India has updated the GO and GO+ with more advanced specs and vintage style, making them appealing to both young independents and families. The GO offers a quality entry-level vehicle, while the GO+ provides extra space as a 7-seater MPV. I believe these updates will help Datsun maintain its market presence.
Monday, 24 June 2024 09:14 AM The Datsun GO is known for its reliability, backed by over a century of automotive expertise from Nissan. It comes with a 3-year/100,000 km manufacturers warranty and an optional service plan. This reliability, combined with low service costs and fuel consumption, makes the GO a cost-effective choice.
Friday, 07 June 2024 10:26 AM Nissan Motor India has introduced subscription plans for Datsun cars, including the GO, in partnership with Orix. This move is expected to make owning a Datsun more accessible and flexible for consumers. I think this could be a game-changer for those who prefer not to commit to full ownership.
Wednesday, 20 March 2024 08:20 AM The Datsun GO features advanced technology, including Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, allowing users to control music, navigation, and hands-free calling through their smartphones. This integration enhances the driving experience significantly.
Friday, 26 January 2024 06:15 PM The Datsun GO has a competitive luggage space of 265 litres, making it suitable for both daily use and holiday trips. Its fuel efficiency and spacious interior are key selling points. I believe this makes it an excellent choice for those looking for a practical vehicle.
Thursday, 26 October 2023 05:11 PM Datsun has ramped up production of the GO to meet growing demand. The vehicles popularity is attributed to its stylish design, fuel efficiency, and reliability. I think this increased production will help Datsun cater to a broader customer base.
Friday, 21 July 2023 01:41 PM The Datsun GO can reach a top speed of 161 km/h and has a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 13.3 seconds under Indian testing conditions. Its performance is commendable for an entry-level vehicle.
Wednesday, 18 January 2023 09:53 AM Datsun India launched the GO with a 1.2-litre 3-cylinder petrol engine, which provides a good balance between power and fuel efficiency. This engine choice has been well-received in the Indian market.

Dashboard

The dashboard is quite interesting. What you get is a dash-mounted gear box which is very comfortable to use. What you don’t get is a glove box; yes there is no glove box in the Datsun GO. Instead you have a deep storage area on the left of the centre console to keep your stuff. There is also a shallow storage area on the left side of the AC vents. The placement of gearbox on the dash has cleared the space in centre and Datsun has placed a cushioned seat which can be used by kids.  The steering wheel is very simple yet stylish which huge Datsun logo in centre.

About Datsun

Datsun is an automobile brand of Japan that once was one of the biggest manufacturers of cars and light trucks. Its name was created in 1931 for a new model of car by DAT Motorcar Co. spelled as 'Datson'. While many people says otherwise, but originally, before the Datsun brand name was not even came to the ears of local folk, a DAT car was built by Kaishinsha Motorcar Works in the Azabu-Hiroo district of Tokyo, Japan in 1914. DAT was an acronym of this company's partner's surnames, D from Kenjiro 'D'en, A from Rokuro 'A'oyama and T from Meitaro 'T'akeuchi. While the originator of this company was the founder of Japanese Automobile Industry, Masujiro Hashimoto and he started Kaishinsha Motorcar Works in 1911. It was renamed as Kaishinsha Motorcar Co. in 1918 and to DAT Motorcar Co. in 1925. In starting, they only made military trucks.

In 1920, after the end of World War I, the military market goes extremely slow and the company thought about merging with another industry. Thus in 1926, it is merged with the Osaka based Jitsuyo Jidosha Co. Ltd.(or Jitsuyo Motors) and became DAT Automobile Manufacturing Co. Ltd. until 1932 in Osaka. In 1930, because of a new bill by Japanese government, they began developing 495cc cars (smaller than earlier cars), thus got the name DATSON (means Son of DAT). In the summer of 1931, they made their first DATSON and sold almost 10 Datson Type 10 by the end of 1931. In 1932 this car was renamed as DATSON Type 11 and was sold to 150 customers. In 1933, when government allows 750cc engines, DATSON increases its engine too and was called a Type 12. In 1934, Nissan Motor Co. Ltd. took control of DAT Motorcar Co. and its last syllable was changed from SON (Loss) to SUN in the honour of the existence of sun in national flag of Japan.

By 1935, they made some extremely beautiful looking cars almost resembling Austin 7 and exported almost six of these to New Zealand in 1936. After the fierce battle with China, they much halted work of manufacturing cars started again and now they based their cars mostly on Devon and Somerset. But in 1955, they introduced their first ever indigenous cars, 110 saloon and 110 based 120 pickup. Nissan entered in American market with the name of Datsun. They produced some all-time favourites cars of that time such as 510, Fairlady roadsters, Fairlady 240Z coupes etc. But by March 1983, Nissan phased out the Datsun name from its cars due to increasing competition in world market and made their move towards dominion with the name of Nissan only. On March 20, 2012 Nissan announced to again manufacture the Datsun for selling in India, Indonesia, Russia and South Africa by 2014. The platform and engineering for Datsun cars now will be provided by a Renault-Nissan alliance controlled firm, AvtoVAZ and these cars will be based on Lada Kalina and Lada Granta.

The corporate vice president and global head of the Datsun Business Unit, Vincent Cobee found stated that they wanted this brand to once again resonates with the customers of high-growth markets who wants style, quality, durability, reliability, authenticity, an accessible price and a legitimate driving experience and will make a connection that created wonders for the company years ago. On January 30, 2013, Nissan Motor Co. Ltd. announced TBWA Worldwide as the global agency of record for the Datsun brand which will set up a dedicated and imaginative Datsun team to run strategic and creative operations from London. The Datsun team in Japan will be supported operationally by TBWA Worldwide's Tokyo affiliate, TBWA HAKUHODO. TBWA Worlwide's President and CEO, Tom Carell stated that it will be an honour to again attract these rising markets towards such an iconic brand and will work hard to bring this heritage forward.

Satisfactory Purchase..

Inder Raheja | 9 years ago
helpful 4

I bought Datsun Go on March, 21. Before this car, I was driving Maruti 800. It is available at affordable price and it fits very well in my budget, so I selected this over other hatchbacks.. Exterior of the Datsun Go is impressive than Maruti and it provides comfort ride too. My family of 4 members fit very comfortably in the car and we never felt any discomfort on long trips. The Luggage room is just enough for our luggage but yes sometimes it got fully stuffed that we can't even open its lid. Apart from this, Initially I faced some problems also which I later got fixed from mechanic. The reason I didn't go to company is their bad behavior. They just don't listen problem carefully. There were issues of center locking and door lid opener alert. Overall, its a satisfactory purchase.

The new Datsun Go is bigger and better than its immediate competition in all the areas that matter. It is more spacious, feels much better built, is nicer to drive, is fuel efficient despite being more powerful, has better ride quality, more effective air conditioning, better seats and a lot more boot space. And the best part is that the new Go will cost similar money as either the Hyundai Eon or the Maruti Alto K10.
