PERFORMANCE
The Datsun GO features a three-cylinder engine that has been developed using a light-weight architecture together with is focused on maximising efficiencies. But the engine manages to surprise us with its nimbleness together with relatively refined performance. Compared to some of the other 3-cylinder engines inward the market, the GO’s unit of measurement is quieter together with less ‘vibey’. Yes, hear carefully together with during difficult acceleration ane tin terminate easily figure out that this is a 3 pot engine, but within the cabin during metropolis driving together with cruising, the engine is tranquillity enough.
The GO is said to live capable of doing a 0-100 kmph run inward 13.3 kmph. During our examination drive, nosotros flora that the 104 Nm of torque available to live a large addition inward metropolis traffic. The 64 PS of powerfulness seemed adequate for a automobile that weighs barely 800 kg.

FULL DETAILS
I similar Carlos Ghosn. He is the electrical current Chairman together with CEO of the Nissan Motor Company, together with also leads the global Renault-Nissan alliance. I take away hold never met him or fifty-fifty inward fact been inward the same room every bit he. But from what I know of him indirectly, I take away hold come upwards to admire him immensely. Especially when he got on phase on the 15th twenty-four hours of July, 2013 together with announced the homecoming of the Datsun brand.
That required considerable amount of courage, together with piece I believe in that location take away hold close definitely been a publish of men together with women driving the determination behind the scenes at Nissan, it must take away hold been his telephone phone to take. And the telephone phone to revive or launch a novel auto build is non precisely an slow ane to make. How many of those calls take away hold you lot seen spill out inward your lifetime?
Datsun’s get-go product, the ‘Go’, debuted with the proclamation of the brand’s homecoming final year, together with correct from the instant of unveiling, it was clear Nissan was squarely aiming at taking on the Indian mainstay of its neighbor dorsum habitation – Suzuki. The Datsun Go non only debuted inward the exact same color shade every bit the Suzuki Alto, but also seems to take away hold a striking connect with the Alto’s at nowadays famous tagline – Let’s Go.
But is the Go really worth the hype? Has Nissan erred inward its way? Or has Carlos Ghosn mayhap gone all Chris Gayle on the Indian auto industry. Hyderabad mightiness take away hold an answer.
The needle is resting at 160 km/hr with the electronic tachometer steady at 5000 revolutions per minute. The automobile won’t exercise whatsoever more, together with neither exercise I desire it to. At 5,000 RPM, all of the Go’s 67 horses are awake together with roaring. The Datsun logo at the real forefront of the automobile is darting towards the horizon every bit I procedure all the engineering scientific discipline jargon Datsun engineers were throwing at us from the previous evening.
I am lacking a combat of focus hither because I hardly had whatsoever slumber from the previous black together with that is the argue I am non inward the driver’s topographic point now. I unremarkably exercise non live inward the rider topographic point of a automobile doing ane hundred miles an hour. Especially with a driver I met only that morning. But I am surprisingly calm together with comfortable. The automobile is real stable with the electronic powerfulness steering weighing inward perfectly. I am reminded of the fact that Datsun engineers derived tools from Nissan’s premium build Infiniti to prepare the dynamics of the Go.
As I stare into the inviting weather condition of Hyderabad upwards ahead, listening to notes from A. R. Rahman’s latest arsenal blaring out of the only ii speakers acquaint inward the car, I am slightly distracted yesteryear the engine together with route dissonance filtering into the cabin. In a successful endeavour at keeping costs down, Datsun engineers take away hold installed audio absorption only where absolutely necessary.
As I wonder where that is, I increase the book of the speakers to drown out the engine together with route noise. The speakers lack whatsoever substantial bite. Or bass. Or whatsoever direct connect with a proper conventional music system. On the Go, Datsun has positioned a smartphone holder inward the centre of the dashboard amongst a USB port (charging only) together with a 3.5mm Aux In port. I assume you lot sympathize where I am going with this. Smart.
But hang on, did I get upwards I was doing one-hundred-and-sixty-kilometres-per-hour inward a automobile that was a direct contest to the Suzuki Alto together with the Hyundai Eon, ii cars that cannot larn yesteryear the 120 km/hr grade without scaring the grandma, grandpa, Appa, together with Amma out of the 25,000 strange Indians who purchase them every month?
I should remind you lot though, the Alto has simply been declared the largest selling automobile inward the world. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 calendar month or together with then ago, it was given a nothing star crash examination rating yesteryear the Euro-NCAP. And that’s why, Datsun is of import for India.
The Go comes powered yesteryear a 1.2 litre engine that produces 104 Nm of torque at 4,000 RPM that is to a greater extent than than sufficient to speedily accelerate together with identify the Go at 100 km/hr inward nether 13.3 seconds. Sure, the Alto K10 has a similar 0-100 time. But it doesn’t exercise it with the sheer stability with which the Datsun accomplishes it.
Datsun has derived cues from Infiniti, its luxury arm, for engineering bits similar a high response linear damper that helps the Go absorb together with follow through piteous route conditions quite effectively. The ride is really real comfortable for a automobile that costs less than the ceramic brakes on a Ferrari. Datsun also says that the pause move on the Go is 30% to a greater extent than than its nearest rival, which tin terminate only live a expert thing.
I am at nowadays behind the steering wheel. I am 6 feet 1 inch tall together with fifty-fifty though the steering column doesn’t adjust for compass or rake, I am comfortable with the driving position.
The dash is of your basic blueprint with compartments together with smaller spaces abound. The gear shift together with the manus brake take away hold been mounted straight onto the dash board to preserve space, says Datsun. But my engineering scientific discipline greyness cells tell me it is to in ane lawsuit once again preserve costs on manufacturing.
Both, the front end together with bring upwards seats are benches together with this creates a rather unique occupation for the driver. Every fourth dimension I involve to alter gears on the 5-speed gearbox, my elbow hits the topographic point dorsum of the front end seats together with this gets irritating. My left articulatio genus rests on the manus brake lever together with my correct articulatio genus on the door mounted powerfulness window switch module. The latter existence uncomfortable over long distances.
On the musical instrument panel you lot larn a speedometer that has pre-printed markers that tell you lot the exact speed at which you lot should alter gears for optimal mileage. Neat economical touch. Besides that, you lot take away hold a digital tachometer along with a minor display that gives you lot a trip computer, instantaneous together with average fuel economic scheme figures, distance to empty, together with a fuel gauge.
You cannot fille noticing the parts that take away hold been borrowed from the Micra here. Things similar the air-con vents, indicator stalk, together with inner door handles portion a superior plastic character much dissimilar the balance of the cabin, which is set upwards inward harder plastics.
Because Datsun has focused on cost consciousness to entail a marketplace topographic point cost that is affordable yesteryear all, it has been able to deliver a lot of automobile for your money. You larn a unmarried wiper blade on the front end with none at the rear, non fifty-fifty a de-mist function. The topographic point belts at the bring upwards are hooked to the C-pillar together with exercise non slide out. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 lid for the storage compartment is absent together with you lot larn powerfulness windows for the front end ii doors alone.
In fact, the driver does non take away hold powerfulness window controls for the left side of the automobile on his door. To adjust the side thought mirrors, you lot involve to physically motion them roughly with no stem provided for them on the inside. To popular the kicking you lot involve to exercise the lever adjacent to the driver topographic point together with in ane lawsuit you lot take away hold done so, you lot volition notice in that location is no packet shelf at the bring upwards either.
But simply when you lot get to slightly fille the packet shelf, you lot volition live surprised at the sheer amount of kicking infinite Datsun engineers take away hold managed to create here. At 265 litres, it is to a greater extent than than twice every bit much every bit the Alto, to a greater extent than than the Eon, together with fifty-fifty beats the likes of the Toyota Etios Liva.
When the Datsun Go hits the roads today, it volition come upwards with a 2 year/unlimited mileage warranty offering ii labour-free services at 5,000 km intervals. You volition fille the presence of an ABS or Airbag unit of measurement on the automobile upon launch, but what you lot volition welcome is the follow-me-home-headlamps characteristic that Datsun has included inward the car. It has also added a speed sensing wiper function, the dot of which I take away hold failed to see.
Finally, if you lot are inward the marketplace topographic point for your get-go car, together with take away hold been flipping a money over the Alto together with the Eon, in that location is no argue why you lot shouldn’t await at the Go now.
Datsun has delivered a automobile that obliterates the Alto inward pretty much every department, together with yesteryear a huge margin. It stands taller, wider, broader than the Eon, drives better, together with volition quite mayhap cost lesser too. It volition retail from Nissan stores initially, together with hither is where the companionship would take away hold its business cutting out. If in that location exists solace inward the minds of Hyundai together with Suzuki, it is inward the fact that their dealer compass is far ahead of Nissan’s. Developing to a greater extent than sales together with service points would live Nissan’s primary agenda inward 2014 if they desire to run across the Go really succeed. That, together with launching the Go based MPV, the Go+.
Datsun is looking at the possibility of an Automated Manual Transmission, ABS, together with Airbags on hereafter models of the Go. But to larn there, it get-go needs to live able to identify plenty cars on the road. There is piffling argue why it won’t live able to.
