The Datsun Go was unveiled in the Capital by President and CEO of Nissan Motor Carlos Ghosn. The car, which will drive into a segment dominated by Maruti and Hyundai, will debut in India before travelling to Indonesia, Russia and South Africa.
The Datsun Go is fitted with a 1.2-litre petrol engine. The car could be priced from Rs 3 lakh onwards.
A unique addition in the cabin is the dock station for the music system, in which the car user can connect a smartphone for streaming music.
For ease of use and practicality, the gear shift lever has been positioned on the dashboard, as also the hand brake lever.
The name of the new car has been inspired by the first Datsun, the DAT-GO launched almost a century ago in Japan.
