Datsun claims to have put reliability, economy and styling in the same sentence with the launch of the Datsun GO Plus (or Go+) which brings appealing running costs, large disc brakes upfront, power steering, powerful headlights and an array of new features.
“The Datsun Go Plus will create its own unique sub-segment (within the upper A-segment/ lower B-segment), as a versatile multi-purpose vehicle (MPV) offering motorists exceptional value, fuel economy and maintenance at an attractive price. These have all been the hallmarks of Datsun since its re-entry into the country”, said Vincent Cobee, Global Head of Datsun
The Datsin GO Plus comes with a host of features that make it stand out from the standard GO, whilst drawing appeal to young, up-coming motorists as well as rental companies. With the GO+, customers are offered a variety of five colours to select from for the stylish modern looking exterior. The addition of a driver’s side airbag, air-conditioning, drive computer and mobile docking station are complemented by an all new dark interior.
Powering the GO+ is Datsun’s 50kW 1.2 petrol engine, offering renowned fuel efficiency, using a mere 5.2 litres per 100km.
To growing brand has brought out the Datsun GO+ in its two forms– the seven seater MPV, as well as the GO+ panel van.
“In addition to our new versatile passenger option, we are also bringing to market our GO+ Panel Van, allowing us to assist entrepreneurs to start up fast, with a business package vehicle solution that delivers a remarkable total cost of ownership enabling small business growth,” says Cobee.
To top it all off, the GO+ comes at a price that makes purchasing a new car for first time buyers and people alike, very possible.
“We have no doubt that at a recommended selling price of R134 900(including VAT),the Datsun GO Plus will be a serious challenger in the market, where it will go head-to-head with other marques on offer. With most MPVs retailing at more than R200 000, there is no doubt that the incredible value offered by the GO+ will provide the competitive edge that will see many young families switching to this vehicle. Typically, the GO+ will appeal to buyers of both genders between the ages of 26 and 36,” says General Manager of Datsun South Africa, Mr Fenner.
