On March 19, the first Datsun cars sold in the 21st century will be delivered to customers in India. This fulfills a promise made two years ago by Nissan to bring back the marque that made car ownership mainstream in Japan and numerous other countries, and now returns as the brand of choice for the risers in today's high-growth markets.

 

Indian customers will be taking to the roads in their new Datsun GO exactly one hundred years from the launch of the first ever DAT car in Japan. Over that century, Datsun went on to sell more than 20 million vehicles in 190 countries.

 

The new Datsun GO is being built at the Renault-Nissan Alliance plant in Chennai. See this video for more.

 

 

New Datsun models will be introduced in Indonesia, Russia and South Africa later this year. Just the other day, Datsun announced it will pull the covers off its all new car for Russia in April in Moscow. In advance of this symbolic event that will celebrate the brand’s entry into the dynamic Russian automotive market, Datsun  released a sketch and an animated video of the exciting new model.
