Nissan India will launch the second Datsun product- the Go+ MPV in the country tomorrow. Datsun India’s official website has already revealed important details about the compact MPV. Based on the Go hatchback, the new MPV is a sub-4 metre utility vehicle and will open an all-new segment, the sub-compact MPV - in the country. The compact MPV is expected to be priced in the range of Rs. 4 lakh to Rs. 6 lakh.
The seven-seater Go+ MPV will share its engine lineup with the Go hatchback. Under the bonnet is the 1.2-litre three cylinder petrol unit that churns out a maximum power output of 67bhp at 5000rpm and a peak torque of 104Nm at 4000rpm. This engine is paired to a five-speed manual gearbox which sends power to the front wheels of the car. The engine is claimed to return an impressive fuel economy of 20.62kmpl.
Dimensionally, the Datsun Go+ MPV is 3,995mm long, 1,635mm wide and 1,490mm high, and has a wheelbase of 2,450mm. It has a decent ground clearance of 170mm, which is more than sufficient to drive this vehicle through rugged Indian roads.
It is basically an extended version of the Go hatchback with third row of seats for kids. The vehicle offers a low luggage carrying capacity of 48-litres, but the boot space can be extended up to 347-litres by folding the third row. The wheel arches of the compact MPV have been fitted to 13-inch wheels shod with 155/70R13 tyres.
