2018 Datsun Go & Go+ MPV can now be booked at Rs. 11,000/-…
Datsun has unveiled the 2018 Go and Go+ MPV for the Indian market. These cars are now available for booking across the Nissan Datsun dealership network at an amount of Rs. 11,000/-. Datsun brand made a comeback as a manufacturer of low-cost vehicles for India, South Africa, Indonesia and Russia in 2014. The first car which was launched by the resurrected brand was the Go hatchback. In India, it did not do very well. Even the Go+ MPV was also not a big success here. With the current update, Nissan-Datsun has tried to add a little “premiumness” to these cars and would be expecting them to do well in their second innings.
