Datsun Go gets DB Mounted Gear Lever and Bench Seats

The Datsun Go which made its global premiere in India earlier today will spearhead the resurrected auto marque’s campaign in emerging markets India, Indonesia and South Africa.
The Datsun Go has no drama in its design but the conservative appearance is easy on the eye and the target audience won’t be disappointed. The Go aims to fit the budget of the middle class customers most of whom are first time car buyers.
The Go has well-aligned creases and character lines on the side, hatch door and on the bonnet. Step inside and you will get the feeling that this car is built to a cost. It doesn’t get a glovebox and instead an open storage compartment is provided! The design and layout is simple and the dashboard sports a dual tone finish.
The black centre console hosts circular aircon vents picked from the Micra parts bin, an ordinary looking audio system and contrasting silver AC controls. The gear lever is mounted on the dashboard to make way for the bench seat which improves the lateral room for both the passenger and driver.
The steering wheel has three spokes and the instrument cluster is a simple, low cost unit. Front seats have integrated head restraints, again a cost effective solution.

New Renault Twingo for the City

Renault has decided to launch its small and funky little car Twingo in five-door avatar instead of three in its next iteration. This, as Renault claims, will make the car more practical and hence more attractive for larger audience domain. The car is to be a RWD model with rear-mounted engine for more practicality.
Twingo have always been an affordable and good-looking compact car that is perfect for short city commutes. The short dimensions and ease of maneuverability have made Twingo a successful urban car, especially for female drivers.
The car is likely to follow the same modernistic and anomalous design theme as the outgoing three-door model. Expect a styled-on-budget interiors with funky little touches to address the new model. Renault is also planning to offer extensive personalization options to further enhance the appeal of the car in ever so competitive market. Now, Renault will also have to concentrate on the male buyers, as the three-door option was the only bait earlier.
Twingo will be a cheap car to run with responsive and efficient engines. However, the car is suitable only for urban commutes and taking one on the highway is not the best of the things to do. New practical approach and Renault’s clever fixed price servicing should make this new Twingo a car worth considering for city dwellers.
