Datsun India has
launched its GO and the GO+ models with new safety and convenience features.
The company has updated the GO and GO+ models with Vehicle Dynamic Control
(VDC) system, a new seven-inch infotainment system and a fresh Vivid Blue paint
scheme (specific to Datsun GO).
The newly added
Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) safety feature monitors wheel speed, steering
wheel position, and lateral acceleration via onboard sensors, resulting in
greater stability and control. The safety feature comes in action as soon as
the vehicle steers out of control in case of oversteering/understeering and
thus facilitates a safer driving experience.
Both the Datsun
cars now also come equipped with additional safety features such as anti-lock
braking system (ABS), electronic brake force distribution (EBD), brake assist
(BA) traction control system (TCS), engine immobiliser, rear parking sensors
and dual front airbags as standard. These safety features will help the cars to
pass new safety norms as per which, from 1 July 2019, all M1 category vehicles
will be required to feature speed alert system, driver and co-driver SBR,
manual override for central locking system and rear parking sensors as
standard.
On the inside, the
Datsun GO and Datsun GO+ get a new seven-inch infotainment system which
supports Apple Car Play, Android Auto and voice recognition with the latest
update. Commenting on the launch of the updated models, Hardeep Singh Brar,
Director Sales and Commercial, Nissan India, said, “Datsun is committed to
transform customer experience with new and innovative products. Underscoring
our focus on progressive mobility backed by safety, technology, style and
convenience, the New Datsun GO and GO+ now comes with VDC so that the Datsun
owner can drive with confidence.”
Both the models run
on the same 1.2L HR12 DE 3-cylinder engine which churns out 68 PS of
maximum power at 5,000 rpm, and 104 Nm of peak torque at 4,000 rpm. The engine
comes mated to a 5-speed manual transmission. The cars also deliver the same
fuel economy of 19.83 km/l (ARAI claimed).
The Datsun GO range
starts at INR 3,32,078 while the bigger, GO+ range retails at INR 3,86,588
onwards, both prices ex-showroom, Delhi.
