Datsun On-Do Features Revealed At Launch In Russia, Price Is 400,000 Roubles

Datsun, the automobile brand owned by Nissan, has come up with a new sedan called the "Datsun on-DO" and has unveiled it in Russia, which is a first for the company. With Russia being the 5th largest market in the world for Nissan, they aim to triple their sales over the course of next 3 years. In fact, Nissan and its alliance partner AVTOVAZ have plans to develop an exquisite line-up of Datsun cars that will have compatibility with driving conditions in Russia. Way to go. Coming to the unique way the car is named - well, there's a good story for that too. In Japanese, 'DO' means 'way' or 'moving' whereas in Russia, 'On' means 'he'. Combining the two words, the makers want the new sedan to have the feel of a real masculine car with good strength and performance, built to provide mobility in an innovative way. Yep, that.

Coming to the features - The four-door, five-seater sedan features a 1.6L petrol engine, 87hp engine and 5 speed manual transmission. With dimensions - Length: 4,337mm, Width: 1,700mm, Height: 1,500mm and a 2,476mm wheelbase, the Datson On-Do brings in a trunk capacity of 530L.

Datsun on-DO will be built in Russia at the AVTOVAZ plant in Togliatti and the sales are due to start in the summer of 2014. The car is priced at 400,000 Roubles in Russia (US $11,304 and Rs. 6.78L) and there's no word yet from the company about the official launch. Interestingly, the company's previous car models - Nissan Datsun India Launch Date To Be 15th July - Hatchback K2 Expected and Datsun GO+ MPV Features Revealed At The Auto Expo 2014 In India has been successful in creating a lot of raves among customers in India.

All we have for now are the basic set of features and some good pictures to gorge on. Till we get our hands on the official complete specs list and other availability details, we would love to hear your thoughts on the latest sedan from Datsun. Speak up in comments.

    Someone has to get rid of the front grill, its looks the same as that of Datsun Go. The price of the car seems to be high considering its a Datsun

    One word.. Impressive.

    Does the Datsun name calls for a lower price band?
    For me, with above features loaded sedan in less than 7 lakhs would be a steal?
