Nissan To Launch Datsun GO+ MPV In 2015

NEW DELHI: Japanese auto major Nissan will drive in its second model from the Datsun portfolio, a Multi-purpose Vehicle Go+, in the first part of next year as part plans to enhance its presence. The GO+ is a seven seater MPV and is among the three models under the Datsun brand that Nissan has announced that it would launch by FY16.

The company is looking to increase sales of both Nissan and Datsun branded vehicles in India to meet its target of capturing 8 per cent market share in the country, although the timeline has been moved due to the slowdown witnessed in the automobile market in the past couple of years.

“The Datsun GO+ will be launched in the first part of next year,” Nissan India operations President Guillaume Sicard told PTI.

Mr. Sicard, who assumed the role last week, said the idea was to build up the presence of the Datsun brand in India.

Earlier this year, the Datsun brand made a global comeback with Nissan launching its entry level car ‘Datsun Go’ priced between 3.12 lakh and 3.70 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi) in India.
