Datsun GO (2016)

Thursday, 09 June 2016 09:21 AM In June 2016, Nissan Motor India announced plans to launch at least three more Datsun models following the success of the Datsun Redi-GO, although the Datsun GO was not one of the new models mentioned. This expansion was part of Nissans strategy to strengthen its presence in the Indian market. I think this move showed Nissans commitment to the Datsun brand and its potential in emerging markets.

Tuesday, 10 May 2016 06:33 AM In May 2016, Datsun introduced the CVT variants of the Datsun GO and GO+, offering attractive deals to customers. This move was aimed at enhancing the value proposition of these models in the segment. The CVT option was expected to improve the driving experience, especially in urban conditions. I believe this addition made the Datsun GO more appealing to city drivers.

Wednesday, 14 January 2015 03:19 PM The Datsun GO+ was launched in India in January 2015, available in four trim levels. The vehicle was praised for its fuel efficiency, with an ARAI-certified fuel economy of 20.62 km/L. This launch was a significant step for Datsun as it expanded its product lineup in the Indian market. I think the GO+ filled a niche for those needing a compact, fuel-efficient vehicle with extra seating.

Tuesday, 18 November 2014 10:55 AM In 2014, the Datsun GO faced criticism after a Global NCAP crash test, where it received a zero-star rating due to the lack of airbags and ABS. This led to calls for the car to be withdrawn from the market. Despite this, Datsun continued to work on improving safety features in subsequent models. I believe this incident highlighted the importance of safety standards in emerging markets.
