Datsun unveils Go+ MPV in Indonesia

Following the introduction of Go hatchback in India, Datsun has now unveiled the brand's second model, the Go+ MPV in Jakarta, Indonesia. Moreover, Datsun also confirmed that the GO hatchback will become the second product in the brand's Indonesian range from 2014, with specific tailoring for the needs of Indonesian customers.

“With the return of the Datsun brand, we are changing mobility. And we're ensuring greater access to the pride, independence and opportunities that car ownership provides. It's exciting to know that, for many Indonesians, the first new car they buy will be a Datsun", said Carlos Ghosn, Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. President and CEO, unveiling the cars.

The Datsun GO+ is a 5+2 MPV developed as a movable cozy family lounge able to accommodate all family members in one car for the journey. The vehicle has a sleek, dynamic silhouette and strong shoulder line. The car will be offered with Datsun Mobile Docking Station - the practical solution of smart-phones integration into the car.

The light-weight Datsun Go+ is equipped with a 1.2-litre engine, mated to a five speed manual transmission, tuned for fuel efficiency and good acceleration. The compact design of the vehicle suits the present day conditions, an overall length of 3,995 mm, width of 1,635 mm and a height of 1,485 mm. Its wheelbase is 2,450 mm, the key to its spacious interior.

With launch of Datsun Go hatchback and Go+ MPV in the Indonesian market, the Datsun brand aims to account for up to 50% of the total Nissan Motor sales in 2016 in Indonesia. Both cars will be priced below 100 Million Indonesian rupiah (around Rs. 5.5 lakh). Both Datsun GO and Datsun GO+ for the Indonesian market will be locally produced at the Nissan Motor plant in Purwakarta, 80 km east of Jakarta, Indonesia and will go on sale during 2014.
