Datsun GO - Revival of Datsun !

Many people remember the brand Datsun as a car manufacturer that produce reliable sedan three decades ago. The brand has been revived by launching Datsun GO in India, a 5-door hatchback which is built based on the Nissan Micra.

 Dimension wise, the GO is close to the Micra, with 3785mm length, 1635mm width, 1485mm height and 2450mm wheelbase. It should provide adequate cabin space for 5, making it a good option as low-cost family car. A 1.2 litre petrol engine mated to a 5-speed manual transmission will be equipped in the GO.

 Selling at 400,000 rupees (RM21,210), don't expect premium quality for the cabin. However, since Datsun is a brand that is famous in durability, everything should be well in place after a long period of usage. Quite modern styling for a budget car cabin I would say.

Would Datsun GO arrive in Malaysia? Only time will tell, but Datsun has mentioned that it is eyeing on ASEAN market. Expect the price of GO to be around RM40k when it's selling here.
