The Datsun Go is the first car to be released by the Japanese automaker Nissan Motor Company under the Datsun brand, since it was discontinued in 1986. Named after the "Dat-Go", Datsun's first car launched in the early 20th century,[2] the Go will initially be available in developing markets such as India, South Africa, Indonesia and Russia. It is based on the same Nissan V platform as the Micra/March.[3]

The car's production is expected to start in 2014, with a price range of ₹400,000 in India[4] and below Rp 100,000,000 to accommodate Indonesian LCGC rule both for Go and Go+.[5]

Datsun's plan is to release a five-door version of the Go, but it is possible that a three-door version will be released as well. There are speculations that Datsun may launch the diesel version of Go hatchback by 2015.

The car has many features in common with the Micra, from which it has inherited much of its interior. The length of the vehicle is 3,785 mm (149.0 in) and its width is 1,635 mm (64.4 in), placing it in the small car category. Its height is 1,485 mm (58.5 in) and its wheelbase is 2,450 mm (96.5 in).
