Datsun has completed three years of its presence in the Indian car market and the company has scaled growth with every passing year. To celebrate its third anniversary, Datsun has built special editions of its first ever products in the country – the Datsun GO hatchback and the Datsun GO+ family wagon.
The Anniversary Edition Datsuns have been done up cosmetically from the outside as well on the inside. The car stands out with its bright silver paint and the decals on the hood, the roof and the side doors. A gray-blue, off-set staggered stripe runs through the length of the car beginning from the hood and going over the roof. The flowy stripe on the side stars on the lower half of the front door flowing upwards towards the C-pillar giving the car a sporty and premium look. The car also has an ‘Anniversary Edition’ badge on the tailgate and a black rear spoiler for the contrast sporty touch.
And that is not all. The Anniversary Edition comes with App based mood lighting to alleviate the mood in the cabin with ambient cabin lighting. This is the first time that a carmaker in this segment has offered this feature as part of the factory-fitted features list. Until now, this feature was only available as an add-on accessory. The highlighted floor mats also add to the ambience.
Anniversary editions of the Datsun GO and the GO+ get a new 2-DIN infotainment system. It has a small digital display screen in the centre and gets smartphone connectivity through Bluetooth. You can also play music using the USB input or the auxiliary input and comes with a four-speaker setup. All Datsun cars come with engine immobilisers for safety against theft. In addition to it, the Anniversary edition gets remote-controlled central locking. It also gets reverse parking sensors to make sure your car is safe when you are reversing into tight spots.
The Datsun GO and GO+ are offered with a 1.2-litre petrol engine that develops 67bhp of power and delivers a fuel economy of about 20kmpl and are available in four trims and six colour options to choose from. While pricing for the GO begins at Rs 3.30 lakh, ex-showroom Delhi, you can get the GO+ from Rs 3.85 lakh onwards.
