April 10, 2017: On the occasion of its third anniversary in the country, Datsun has introduced special anniversary edition of its GO+ MPV. In this limited edition, the budget people mover gets a host of changes including, first-in-segment Ambient Lighting app for mobile phones, body graphics, Anniversary Edition badge, a sporty black rear spoiler on the exterior. On the other hand, the interior features vivid blue inlays on seats, anniversary floor mats, art leather seats, a keyless entry system, Bluetooth connectivity, rear parking sensor, radio and USB connection.
Powering the Datsun Go+ is the same 1.2-litre petrol engine which churns maximum power of 68PS along with 104Nm of peak torque at 4000 rpm. The MPV delivers a fuel economy of 20.6 kmpl.
My cousin bought Datsun Go Plus (Petrol Variant T) last Wednesday and we went for a trip to Ajmer. The car is good at the price offered. I drove it for half an hour on highway and would say it has got the superb ride quality. Interior is fine and comfortable as it's spacious inside. As I was going through the features, I found following things interesting.
Looks are fine enough to catch some eyes on the road. Datsun has done a great job in this department.

Hi, I have just booked a Go + ( T trim ). The car is by and large similar to the Go Hatch with an extended rear end to cater to the additional row of seat. Let us go segment wise.
1 Exterior - The car is identical upto the C pillar where it is stretched for the additional Plus you get. The extension is nice and does not appear as just an addition of extra boot to the end. The Front grill is decent and gives nice appeal to the car. Roof is nicely sloping which gives that MPV feel. The s read more 7
Look and Style: I very much liked the Go hatchback and Go almost looks like it. Above all, it stands out in a crowd that is full of Marutis and Hyundais on our roads. The most attractive part of my Go is its D-shaped front grille which makes it very good and premium looking.
Comfort: I must say that the front seats are very comfortable, but as you move to the rear, the seats are not that good, while the third seat is actually painful. Legroom is pretty decent in the first two rows, but the th read more 601
Since its revival in March 2014, Datsun has launched 4 models (GO, GO+, mi-Do & on-Do) across 4 markets (India, Indonesia, South Africa & Russia) and started production at 3 plants in 3 countries (India, Indonesia & Russia). Quite symmetrical we must say! However in India, we only have two Datsuns as of now in our market. GO was the first one that made its way here and GO+ was launched few months after that.
The GO+ is a compact alternative to the larger MPVs as well as a larger alternative to the regular hatchbacks. The company quotes GO+ as an 'estate / station wagon' that offers 5+2 seating. But it wouldn't be out of place to call it a 5-seater with a large boot (vis-a-vis an optional 7-seater MPV).
Things We Like in GO Plus
Has a few upmarket features like the Follow me Headlamps, a comprehensive Multi Information Display, Gear Shift Indicator and Speed Sensitive Wipers which are offered right from the base trim.
The third row can be folded down to be used as a large 347 liter boot.
The only car in its price range to offer a third row. It can accommodate a total of 7 passengers. All other options in the price range are 5 seater hatchbacks.
Things We Don't Like in GO Plus
The Datsun brand is new t the Indian market and the image that it has generated around it is negative. Both in terms of safety & quality.
Cost cutting has led to compromise not only on the feature list but also the safety.
Bare basic features on offer. Even on the top end variant you don’t get a proper infotainment system.
Datsun utilizes Nissan’s after sales network which lacks reach.
Stand Out Features
Practicality of a 7 seater in a nifty size under 4 meters.
Very high claimed fuel economy of over 26 kmpl. The highest of a 7 seater MPV. The figure is high when compared to its hatchback competitors as well.
CarDekho Verdict
Though Datsun insists on calling it a seven-seater, the Go+ isn’t exactly a proper one. The third row can only accommodate luggage and can't really be used to seat any adult.
"Though Datsun insists on calling it a seven-seater, the Go+ isn’t exactly a proper one."
But if you look at it as a five-seater, with a decent amount of luggage space, then the Go+ makes more sense.
