Datsun has reportedly started accepting orders for
the Datsun Go Cross in Indonesia ahead of its official launch before the end of
2017. AutonetMagz reports that the production version of the Go Cross concept
will be introduced earlier than anticipated.
The Datsun Go Cross is essentially a crossover
variant of the Go+ compact MPV. It was unveiled in concept form in October
2015, followed by an appearance at the 2016 Auto Expo in India. Indonesian
media expected the crossover to arrive in 2018. However, according to the
latest report, the car will be introduced before the end of this year.
Powering the Datsun Go Cross will be the same 1.2 L
petrol engine that does duty on the Go and Go+. Aside from the standard 5-speed
manual transmission, Datsun will offer the Go Cross with a CVT as well. In case
of the Go and Go+, this 1,198 cc mill generates 69 PS and 104 Nm.
