Now Datsun Go with airbags making its way
The Datsun GO hatchback MPV would now be out with driver side airbags. Dealers have established an August debut for these variants. The airbag loaded models would cost nearly INR 15,000 more than the non airbag ones. This declaration was earlier made in the month of March, and production of the cars has started since, at the Oragadam unit in Chennai.
The Datsun GO hatchback and the GO+ MPV would now be out with driver side airbags. Dealers have established an August debut for these variants. The airbag-loaded models would cost nearly INR 15,000 more than the non-airbag ones. This declaration was earlier made in the month of March, and production of the cars has started since, at the Oragadam unit in Chennai.
The new Datsun GO and Datsun GO+ would be named the GO T (O) and the GO+ T (O) correspondingly. There would be no other variations made to the cars, except for the accumulation of the airbags.The T version of the Datsun GO and Datsun GO+ are motorized by the similar 1.2-L petrol producing out 67bhp and 10.1kgm force. The Datsun GO went through a crash inspection a just lately and secured a zero in the ratings.
This headed to the model being barred until the car was made safe. Fascinatingly, the car was on for sales in India but however it was barred to enter the markets in Europe. This was due to the car followed to Indian safety norms. Currently, the proposed Central Motor Vehicle Rules, to come into action in the year 2017, would create crash tests obligatory for all cars sold in the market of India too. So the GO and GO+ would have to struggle with the harsher guidelines imposed to make vehicles harmless in a case of emergency.
Actually a right step indeed, as the condition of the roads in India is actually worse than any of the European or any other countries, so the cars should actually be dressed up to face emergencies.Airbag, provide some protection at least in crisis, especially on the highways, where the condition of the roads in a no different story.
