Datsun GO and GO+ special editions launched

NEW DELHI: After launching the redi-GO to tap India’s small car market earlier this year, Datsun has now launched special editions of two of its other offerings, GO hatchback and GO+ compact MPV, as well. The cars will come with the limited edition ‘Style’ moniker and have been priced at Rs 4.06 lakh and Rs 4.77 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi) respectively, informed a press release on Thursday. The Style edition GO and GO+ will come in a new colour option called the ‘New Blue,’ in addition to the existing White and Ruby colours. Further options to accessorise the cars include new roof rails, a rear spoiler, body graphics and the limited edition ‘Style’ logo. On the inside, the Japanese manufacturer offers a choice between a dual tone black and beige upholstery and a piano black centre instrument cluster with silver chrome. Apart from these new additions, features like follow-me-home headlamps, speed sensitive electric power steering, powerful air conditioning, front power windows, universal mobile phone holder, auxiliary-in and USB charger, central locking and full wheel covers will be carried forward from the T style variants. There are no changes on the mechanical front as both the cars continue to be powered by the same 1.2-litre 3-cylinder petrol engine that churns out 68PS of maximum power and 104Nm of peak torque. Power is transmitted through a five-speed manual gearbox and the company claims a fuel economy of 20.6kmpl in this state of tune. Both the cars come with two year/unlimited kilometres warranty with Free Road Side Assistance that can be extended up to a five years. The Datsun GO and GO+ ‘Style’ limited edition cars will be on sale from August through October 2016 and can be booked at company dealerships across the country. Source: cardekho.com
