Chronology
SuccessorNissan Magnite (Indonesia)[2]

The Datsun Go/Go+ is a city car/5+2 mini MPV produced by the Japanese automaker Nissan under the Datsun brand since its revival in 2013. Named after the "Dat-Go", Datsun's first car launched in the early 20th century,[3] the Go is available in developing markets such as India, South Africa and Indonesia. It is built on the same V platform as the K13 Nissan Micra/March, from which it has inherited much of its interior parts.[4]

The Indonesian-market Go series is officially succeeded by the Nissan Magnite crossover SUV in early 2021 after Nissan ceased production of the Go in 2020.[2]

Overview[]

The Go was unveiled globally in Delhi, India on 15 July 2013,[5] and went on sale in India in early 2014.[6][7] It was unveiled in Jakarta, Indonesia on 17 September 2013[8] and went on sale in mid-2014 under Indonesian government's "Low Cost Green Car" (LCGC) program.

The Go is powered by a 1.2-litre (1,198 cc) three-cylinder engine which is the same unit used in the Micra. It produces 68 hp (51 kW; 69 PS)[9] and 104 N⋅m (77 lbf⋅ft) of torque.

Markets[]

Indonesia[]

In Indonesia, the Go+ (marketed as Go+ Panca)[10] was launched prior to the Go in May 2014 under the LCGC program. Initial trim levels were: D, A, A Option, T, and T Option. On 6 August 2014, the T Style trim (placed above T Option) was introduced.[11]

In August 2014, the Go hatchback (marketed as Go Panca)[12] was launched following the Go+. As of 2015, it was available in three trims: T, T Option and T Active. Both T Style and T Active trims were equipped with body kits as standard.

The facelifted Go and Go+ with automatic transmission (CVT) were launched in Indonesia on 7 May 2018.[13] Both shared the same dashboard as the Cross (the Go+ variant with crossover-inspired styling) that was launched earlier. On 2 August 2018, the Go Live special version was introduced.[14] Later in 2019, it became equipped with Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC).

India[]

The Go+ was launched in India in 2015. At that time, it was available in four trim levels. The company claims that the engine returns an ARAI-certified fuel economy of 20.62 km/L (58.2 mpg‑imp; 48.5 mpg‑US).[15]

Safety[]

During a crash test in India, the Go received a zero-star rating from Global NCAP, prompting NCAP's chairman Max Mosley to request that the car be withdrawn from the market in a letter to Renault-Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn as it was completely wrecked during the test.[17]

Awards[]

In the 2016 Frost & Sullivan Automotive Awards, the Go+ received "Indonesia Value-For-Money Car of the Year Award" for its market share, product innovation and also marketing and business development strategies.[18]

Sales[]

From its launch in 2014 up to May 2015, both the Go and Go+ sold for almost 30,000 units in Indonesia, which 70 percent of it came from the Go+.[19]
