Currently, Datsun GO is one of the popular entry-level cars in India. It is priced similarly to the Alto K10 but gets a lot more features than that. The GO comes with Follow-me-home headlamps, Driver airbag as Standard, ABS and an infotainment system. Despite having many features, Datsun does not have a decent share of this market. Recently, the Datsun GO Facelift was showcased at GIIAS 2018. It gets more features than the current GO and is expected to launch in India this festive season. It gets a new 6.5-inch touchscreen infotainment system, a new dashboard design and much more. With the new features, it is expected to be priced starting from Rs 4 Lakhs onwards.
The Datsun GO comes with a 1.2 Litre Three-cylinder petrol engine. This engine produces around 67 BHP of power and 104 Nm of torque. However, the Datsun GO Facelift will get the same engine but developed for more power up to 78 BHP. This engine will come paired to CVT along with the 5-speed Manual Transmission.

Improvement in the feature list includes a new 6.5-inch touchscreen infotainment system, a lockable glove box, a refreshed instrument panel with tachometer and MID and a much better dashboard.
