TheDatsun Go/Go+ is acity car andmini MPV with "5+2" seating capacity that was produced by the Japanese automakerNissan under theDatsun brand (which was revived in 2013) between 2014 and 2022. Named after the "Dat-Go", Datsun's first car launched in the early 20th century,[5] the Go was available indeveloping markets such as India, South Africa and Indonesia. It is built on the sameV platform as theK13 Nissan Micra/March, from which it has inherited much of its components.[6] In 2018, Nissan introduced a crossover derivative called theDatsun Cross, which was previewed as theDatsun Go-cross Concept in 2015. The Cross was only available in Indonesia.
The Go was unveiled globally inDelhi, India on 15 July 2013,[7] and went on sale in India in early 2014.[8][9] It was unveiled inJakarta, Indonesia on 17 September 2013[10] and went on sale in mid-2014 under Indonesian government'sLow Cost Green Car (LCGC) program.
The Go is powered by a 1.2-litre (1,198 cc)three-cylinder DOHC engine with electronic fuel injection, which is the same unit used in the Micra. It produces 67 hp (50 kW; 68 PS)[11] and 104 N⋅m (77 lbf⋅ft) of torque.
The Indonesian-market Go series was officially succeeded by theNissan Magnitecrossover SUV in early 2021 after Nissan ceased production of the Go series in 2020.[4]
The Go series stopped production globally in 2022 as the Datsun brand discontinued for the second time.[12]

In Indonesia, the Go+ (marketed as Go+ Panca)[13] was launched prior to the Go in May 2014 under the LCGC program. Initial trim levels were: D, A, A Option, T, and T Option. On 6 August 2014, the T Style trim (placed above T Option) was introduced.[14]
In August 2014, the Gohatchback (marketed as Go Panca)[15] was launched following the Go+. As of 2015[update], it was available in three trims: T, T Option and T Active. Both T Style and T Active trims were equipped with body kits as standard.
Thefacelifted Go and Go+ withautomatic transmission (CVT) were launched in Indonesia on 7 May 2018.[16] Both shared the same dashboard as the Cross (the Go+ variant with crossover-inspired styling) that was launched earlier. The CVT-equipped model was briefly not included in theLow Cost Green Car incentive programme due to lower local parts content, which incurs luxury tax for the variant.[17]
On 2 August 2018, the Go Live special version equipped with aerokits was introduced.[18] Later in 2019, it became equipped withVehicle Dynamic Control (VDC).
The Go+ was launched in India in 2015. At that time, it was available in four trim levels. The company claims that the engine returns anARAI-certified fuel economy of 20.62 km/L (58.2 mpg‑imp; 48.5 mpg‑US).[19]
TheDatsun Cross is the crossover-inspired variant of the Go+. It was launched in Indonesia on 18 January 2018,[20] after being previewed as a concept car called the Datsun Go-cross Concept at the 2015Tokyo Motor Show in October, 2016Auto Expo in India in February and 2016Indonesia International Auto Show in August.[21][22][23] The model is not included in theLow Cost Green Car incentive programme due to its price tag exceeding the required bracket.

During a crash test in India, the Go with no airbags and noABS received a zero-star rating fromGlobal NCAP in 2014, prompting NCAP's chairmanMax Mosley to request that the car be withdrawn from the market in a letter to Renault-Nissan CEOCarlos Ghosn as it was completely wrecked during the test.[24]
The African version of the Datsun Go+ with driver airbag and noABS received 1 star for adult occupants and 2 stars for infants fromGlobal NCAP in 2017 (similar toLatin NCAP 2013).[25]
In the 2016 Frost & Sullivan Automotive Awards, the Go+ received "Indonesia Value-For-Money Car of the Year Award" for its market share, product innovation and also marketing and business development strategies.[26]
From its launch in 2014 up to May 2015, both the Go and Go+ sold for almost 30,000 units in Indonesia, which 70 percent of it came from the Go+.[27]
