The GO, which measures 3785 mm in length, 1635 mm in width and 1485 mm in height, is being offered in 4 colours. On the inside, the GO has five seats, a mobile dock with USB charging facility. Other equipment includes an HVAC unit and powered front windows.

The Datsun GO is Nissan's rival for the Maruti Suzuki Alto, and Hyundai Eon.
