If you were following the launch of Datsun Go+ MPV in India during the month of January this year, here's some exciting news from the company. The Japanese automobile giant, Nissan has decided to launch its brand new Datsun I2 car in Indian market within next 18 months. Though it is being said that the Datsun I2 will be placed below the Datsun Go car, we recommend reading about the Datsun GO+ pricing and specifications here. Now, the news about Datsun I2 car's India launch came to light when Nissan India president, Mr. Guillame Sicard told Reuters about it. Touted to be priced below Rs. 3,24,000, making it the cheapest Datsun car in India, the I2 is going to be the most affordable product from the company yet.
For keeping the cost that low, it is being said that, Datsun will be manufacturing the I2 in India (most probably at the Chennai-based manufacturing unit) while using locally made car components. To be based on the new Renault-Nissan Alliance CMF-A platform, the small Datsun I2 car may be inspired from the Datsun Redi-Go concept that we saw at this year's Delhi Auto Expo.
It is going to be a challenge for Nissan's Datsun to maintain good fuel efficiency without compromising on either the car's quality or safety. Since last year, the company has been able to sell more than 62,000 cars in India. Speaking of the company's success, another noteworthy achievement in the completion of a decade of operations for Nissan India. To mark the day, the company celebrated with “The Nissan Carnival”, an experiential event to showcase the well known products and technologies at their Buddh International Circuit office in Greater Noida.
We will be eagerly waiting for the Nissan Datsun's I2 car's technical specifications announcement from the company. The launch might happen sometime during mid 2016. What are your thoughts on a new entry level car from Nissan? Share with us in comments below.
