Datsun has launched the BS6 compliant version of its five-seater and seven-seater cars, namely the GO and the GO+ in India. The BS6 Datsun Go and the GO+ are available in seven variants - D, A, A(O), T, T(O), T CVT, T(O) CVT. The cars are available in six-colour options - ruby red, bronze grey, amber orange, crystal silver, vivid blue, and opal white.
What’s good?
Both the cars, the GO and the GO+ are available in manual and CVT options. As compared to the AMT transmission offered by its competitors, the CVT offers smoother gear shifts without lags, better hill driving experience and low engine noise. The cars get a ‘sports mode’ that offers a mild boost in performance. The feature list includes seven-inch smart touchscreen with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity, vehicle dynamic control, dual front airbags, ABS, EBD, brake assist, and reverse parking assist.
What’s not so good?
The D, A and the A(O) miss out on features like vehicle dynamic control, dual-tone wheel covers, analogue tachometer, digital clock, music system and more. The base variant does not get electrically operated power steering. The D and the A variants also miss out on essentials like AC with heater and other set of features.
Best variant to buy
The T(O) is a good choice for those seeking a manual transmission, while the T(O) CVT is a good option for those looking out for an automatic. In addition to all the features from the lower variants, these two variants additionally offer LED DRLs and R14 diamond cut alloy wheels. The automatic version, however, does not get features like the 3D graphical blue ring, trip computer MID, battery saver and follow-me-home headlamps.
