Re: Datsun Begins Testing Go+ MPV in India

Though i wasn't following the news on the Datsun Go+ i knew it is a low cost car but never knew the 7 seater is just a virtual one and very impractical!!

Also i don't see any video reviews showing the leg space in the last row, perhaps the camera man isn't able to squeeze in[confused]

Would've been a better seller if it had come in diesel engine.

The purpose of releasing the lower variants in the market is a knack of giving the lowest price tag, in today's world nobody would buy the car without aircon unit and even the company knows it too!

In my personal experience, the salesman too show the top end model only, they reveal the info of basic version only if you are kneen and push you to buy the top end many a times.

Although our review is yet to come up but sharing a shot of the third row with an occupant of height well-over 6 feet. I'm 5'11" and ended up with a similar fate.

Vibhor, you and me will never be able to fit in 3rd row[lol]! When I tried to enter the 3rd row while clicking pics at dealership, my head banged. I am 6'1". I felt more like a prisoner being made to sit legs folded. Minimal thigh support.

Rest I'll share tomorrow after covering the Delhi's official unveiling. My pictorial review of the Datsun Go+ will be up by Saturday. Most likely test drive one will be there by Sunday.

Oops! this isn't acceptable for a seven seater car then!! GO+ = (-), if i happen to buy this, i'll buy the Go only. Well it will qualify for station wagon.

Re: Datsun Go+ MPV: Now Launched at INR 3.79 Lacs (Ex)

Buddies,

After attending the SIAM exhibition, my next important coverage of the day was the New Datsun Go+ MPV launched today starting from INR 3.79 Lac (Ex Showroom). There are 4 variants in all, i.e, Base Model D, D1, A and finally top variant T. The model reviewed by me is the Datsun Go+ (T) in Petrol. No Diesel or AMT variant is offered at present.

So, here is my pictorial first look review of the Datsun Go+.

Photo0177.jpg

Technical Specifications​

The Datsun Go+ is powered by 12 Valve DOHC, 3 Cylinder 1.2L Petrol engine with Electronic Gasoline Injection System that gives a power of 68PS at 5000 RPM and Torque of 104NM

Photo0188.jpg

Transmission and Braking​

The variants of Go+ have 5 speed Manual Transmission with front ventilated Disc Brakes and Rear Drum Brakes.

Photo0182.jpg

Overall Dimensions​

The overall length of GO+ is 3995mm and Width is 1635mm. The height being 1490mm with a Wheelbase of 2450mm. The GO+ ground clearance of 170mm and turning radius of 4.6m

Steering Wheel​

The Go+ has power steering in the Top model rest all have only normal steering.

Photo0181.jpg

Tyre​

The Go+ has 155/70 Tyre with 13" rim size. No alloys options from OEM in any models of GO+.

Photo0187.jpg

Seating​

The GO+ is too practical in this way. The seating capacity is 5+1*. The fabric in the seats of the Top model was average and the comfort was also average only with legroom in both rear rows being just "OK". A person of 50 kg and 5'5" can sit in the 3rd row. No armrest provided in front seats.

I was surprized to see a 7 seater for 4lacs something but as I read on, It dawns upon me.

This is nothing but an estate with makeshift space to send your step-kids in! I guess a human more than 4 Ft tall won't even fit inside well.
There is ultimate lack of safety and Basic features.

No Revv meter
No Music system
Small headlamps
very skinny 155/70 tyres. Thats the size of my i10~! Heck even i10 tyres are 155/80R

ABS..err! Whats that?

Head Lamp and Tail Lamps​

The headlamps are normal halogen lamps without projectors or HID in any variant of Go+. Though there is headlamp beam adjuster and "follow me home" feature in all variants. Talking of the tail lights, the squarish tail lamps are OK that's all.

Photo0183.jpg

The Boot Space​

The GO+ has a boot space of 48 L with 3rd row up and 347 L with 3rd row folded.

Photo0186.jpg

Photo0209.jpg​

Suspension​

The GO+ has Mac Pherson Strut Suspension in front and Torsion Beam Type in the rear.

Safety​

The least said is better. No variant is equipped with ABS, EBD or Airbags. At least the Mid & Top end variant should have the ABS and driver airbag. In the name of Safety, seat belts are provided in all 3 rows.

Features of Go+ (T) Model​

* Front Power Window

* Power Steering

* AC ("A" model also has AC)

* USB Port and accessory socket of 12V

* Additional Brake lamp

* Front Speakers. (Provisions of speakers are there in lower models)

Internal Lighting​

There is only one roof lamp provided in all variant of Go+ above IRVM which is manually adjustable.

Photo0201.jpg​

Auxiliary Lamps​

No additional fog lamps provided in any variant of Go+

Photo0190.jpg

The Roof​

Though paint quality is acceptable yet the roof misses out on corner molding that gives a untidy look.

I may sound a little harsh here, but does this vehicle deserves to be a flop ?!

Hello Puneet, In terms of safety of-course this car lags behind its chief rivals i.e Mobilio, Ertiga and Enjoy. Not considering Innova as its a premium MPV. As of the price, its a competitive situation since Go+ begins at 3.79 Lacs and goes till 4.61 Lacs (Ex Showroom). In terms of sales, we need to watch out for sales report by Vibhor in March which shall show sales numbers of Feb-2015.

My guess is, Personal ownership of this vehicle will be 50-50. However, In commercial segment here, I think Go+ A & T Variant can find takers.

Regards

Akash

Just two questions:

Which one is more VFM and now which one of the below you recommend more?
GO+ OR Wagon R
I know both the vehicles are in different segment,but considering their somewhat similar pricing.
