Datsun Go review, road test

Fuel efficiency is one area where Datsun has delivered. The Go gave us an impressive 12.8kpl in the city, and 17.9kpl out on the highway. That gives it an overall figure of 15.4kpl. Once again, it’s the Go’s low kerb weight and smart gearing that come into play.

 

A neat touch worth mentioning here is the Go’s speedometer, which comes with markings of suggested gearshift points to keep the engine at its efficient best, which is around 1,200rpm.

 

 

The 35-litre fuel tank is smaller than the Micra’s by six litres, but it’s of similar capacity to other budget hatches like the Wagon R, Alto and Eon.
