Recently, there were reports suggesting that Nissan is planning to discontinue the Datsun brand in India. The latter has only three cars which are barely managing to make decent sales figures. From Datsun, Redi-GO is the best-selling model owing to its low pricing.
However, officials later confirmed that Nissan has no plans to discontinue Datsun brand in India. The latter recently introduced the GO and GO+ CVT, as a first-in-segment. To further improve the sales, Datsun and Nissan have announced huge discounts on all their models.
Datsun Redi-GO is also going to get a major facelift soon, which will give it a fresh styling and new features as well. With the BS-6 norms coming in, the hatchback will still continue with its 800cc and 1000cc petrol engines.
