Nissan India is all set to launch the much-awaited Datsun Go+ MPV in the country today. This sub-4 metre MPV is likely to be priced in the range of Rs. 4 lakh to Rs. 6 lakh, and will rival against the likes of Chevrolet Sail and Maruti Ertiga.
It is basically the Datsun Go with an additional third row of seats for kids. The front fascia of the car remains the same; the side profile largely looks identical to its hatchback sibling till the C-Pillar. Despite being a seven-seater MPV, Datsun managed to keep its length under four metres. Talking about its dimensions, the Go+ MPV is 3,995mm long, 1,635mm wide, and 1,490mm high and it comes with a decent wheelbase of 2,450mm. The vehicle offers a very little boot space of 48-litres, but it can be increased up to 347-litres by folding the third row of seats. Its wheel arches have been fitted to 13-inch wheels shod with 155/70R13 tyres. The ground clearance stands at 170mm, which is pretty decent considering Indian city road conditions.
The Datsun Go+ MPV will be made available in four variants- D, D1, A and T. The top-end variant gets power steering and all power windows, the A and T variants get air conditioning. As standard addition, the Go+ MPV has mobile docking system and front power windows. Under the bonnet is the 1.2-litre petrol engine that churns out a maximum power output of 67bhp and a peak torque of 104Nm. Power is transmitted to the front wheels of the sub-compact MPV via a five-speed manual gearbox. This engine is claimed to return an impressive fuel economy of 20.62kmpl.
