Datsun GO facelift spotted testing

The first spy image of the Datsun GO facelift has surfaced online showing the rear of a heavily camouflaged test mule.

Earlier this year, we had reported that Datsun was planning to launch facelift versions of the GO and GO+ in September 2018. The updated models are already on sale in Indonesia. The cars receive a new grille with a chrome frame and a redesigned front bumper with integrated LED DRLs. The headlights have also been revised and higher variants are offered with 14-inch alloy wheels. 

On the inside, the updated models get dual-tone dashboards with a redesigned centre console featuring a touchscreen infotainment system. The air-conditioning vents have been reprofiled and the cars now get covered glove boxes. The front bench seat has been replaced with two separate seats with the handbrake lever in between. 

Datsun is expected to make similar changes to the India-spec GO and GO+. The carmaker might also add new features like electric ORVMs, power windows, rear washer and wiper, rear parking sensors, driver and passenger side airbags and ABS.

In India, the Datsun GO facelift is expected to use the same 1.2-litre, 3-cylinder petrol engine as offered on the current model. It makes 67 BHP @ 5,000 rpm and 104 Nm of torque @ 4,000 rpm and is paired to a 5-speed manual transmission.
