Datsun are all set to follow the Crossover trail, having unveiled their concept car the Go Cross-Concept at the Tokyo Motor Show this month.
According to the company the Go Cross-Concept will be built on the Datsun Go+ platform but will sport a more rugged and defined look. The concept car fuses a modern styling with Datsun’s design philosophy of making cars for specific markets at attractive prices.
As seen in the pictures, the Go Cross-Concept features a larger D-cut front grille, higher bonnet line, LED headlamps, front and rear skid plates, higher ground clearance, roof rails and 17” alloys. All these features give the Cross-Concept a robust appeal.
Speaking on the occasion, Koli Nagano, Executive Design Director, Datsun said, “Our challenge was to create an unmistakable crossover which kept some iconic design cues from the Datsun Go+ yet, at the same time, was distinctly different. The Datsun Go-cross Concept is proof positive that Datsun’s design language is consistent yet flexible enough to shape every kind of vehicle. The aggressive and modern front end, rugged lower and sleek upper design give the Datsun Go-cross Concept a high distinctive silhouette which is designed to appeal to different types of customer. Although clearly built for adventures, like Datsun Go+, our new crossover concept has also been created with practicality in mind. There’s ample space inside for families and friends travelling together. The usefully sized luggage area is complemented by the extra luggage capacity offered by the roof rack, while the higher ground clearance and tough exterior cladding mean it will be able to cope with everyday road and traffic conditions in the country.”
