The Datsun GO Technology
Datsun GO and GO+ are the only cars in their segment to offer VDC (Vehicle Dynamic Control) technology as standard. It monitors wheel speed, steering wheel position & lateral acceleration via onboard sensors to alter the car’s speed and handling characteristics if it senses oversteer/understeer on the road.
With Vehicle Dynamic Control, the GO and GO+ are able to respond faster to a car’s oversteer/understeer and maintain better handling characteristics, which results in safer driving experience and enhanced drivability for the driver. In addition, the system helps in controlling fuel consumption as it monitors engine speed and alters it accordingly.
The GO and GO+ are powered by a 1.2-litre, three-cylinder petrol engine that produces 68 PS and 104 Nm of torque. It is mated to a five-speed manual gearbox.
