Datsun is an auto manufacturer with history. Dating back to Japan’s earliest days of car building, it has evolved to become a manufacturer recognised for its durable, attractive and trustworthy vehicles. The Datsun Go embodies the spirit of modern Datsun – perfect for young risers chasing their dreams.
The Story of Nissan Datsun Go South Africa
Nissan relaunched the Datsun brand in 2013 after a number of years of being inactive. Models have been available in South Africa since 2014.
The Datsun Go was introduced as a low-cost competitor in the hatchback market. Despite being low-cost, the Datsun Go features everything a young riser could need and want in their first new car investment.
Datsun’s return didn’t start with deciding which models to launch, but with the people in mind. Young risers: ambitious young people that are ahead of the curve, waiting for that one opportunity that will rocket their careers and futures forward.
A young riser realises that mobility relates to both physical and social access to opportunities. They deserve a car brand of their own – a brand representative of their tenacity to succeed.
Datsun has made their triumphant return to South Africa and the world in order to become the proud badge of the risers.
The Badge of the Risers reflects both Datsun’s heritage and guiding principles. The centre portion of the new badge honours the spirit of old Datsun by retaining the essence of its original logo. A modern robustness and confidence to succeed in a new world is conveyed by the surrounding portion of the badge, featuring a hexagon inspired by shiny bolts.
Datsun’s new way is all about forging a mutually rewarding and enjoyable relationship with risers, beginning from the moment of purchase on through the ownership experience. At Datsun it’s all about growing a locally built, relevant brand that draws inspiration from the company’s global technological understanding and proficiency in both styling and engineering.
The core values Datsun aims to be known for can be summarised as: dream, access and trust.
Datsun wishes to turn risers’ investment into a purchase they will never regret – to be a car brand that allows young risers to love the car they are able to afford. To be a manufacturer that makes dreams come true, no matter what a customer’s budget. Datsun wants to offer quality, modern cars at an affordable price.
One of a riser’s main concerns is accessing opportunities that will drive them towards their dreams. Datsun aims to ensure that everything is friendly, easy and inviting: from the buying experience to owning, not just the affordable price.
Lastly, Datsun wishes to be seen as a trusted automotive brand that is able to deliver in terms of durability, quality and reliability, because of our global expertise, as well as leveraging from our roots.

Datsun Go Interior Design Will Blow Your Mind
The new Datsun Go is designed to function for the way you really live. The best part? It’s so accessible! You get a lot of bang for your buck with the new Datsun Go.
Spacious Interior
The Datsun Go’s best-in-class cabin length allows for everyone coming along for the ride to stretch out and sit comfortably. Rear passengers will feel as though they are nestled in a cosy sedan, with more than ample knee room and a well-cushioned seat.
In the front, you’ll find that the Datsun Go offers great shoulder and head room compared to many of its competitors. The lidded glove box, door pocket and passenger side storage provide you with ample space to store your personal effects. Bottle holders in the doors will ensure that you keep hydrated during your travels.
Quiet Cabin
Strategically placed insulation throughout the solidly built cabin allows you to enjoy conversation and music on your drives. Your time spent behind the wheel can now also become quality time.
Generous Boot Space
Coming in at 265 litres, the Datsun Go is able to accommodate your luggage for a weekend getaway or those of your friends flying in for a visit.
Sleek Interior Design
A clean, simple and modern look is very desirable nowadays. Datsun Go placed emphasis on thoughtful details that reflect quality during the design process.
A bird’s wing inspired the elegant, dipping line of the dashboard. A touch of silver accents throughout the cabin, the gear-lever conveniently positioned within easy reach of the steering wheel on the instrument panel and the cool and comfortable shape of the door handles all combine to make the Datsun Go something special.
It’s not just easy to drive – it’s also easy on the eyes.
Leather-Feel Grain Pattern
An added detail like this is what makes the Datsun Go feel a class above its peers. The dashboard and the interior is trimmed with a leather-feel, soft to the touch grain pattern. Datsun puts a lot of care into selecting materials that will give our cars an upmarket feel. The materials used are chosen with the customer’s experience in mind.
7” Touchscreen
The Datsun Go’s touchscreen features integrated Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and Bluetooth, enabling you to take control of your world.
