The Datsun brand, part of the Renault Nissan Alliance and revived from oblivion, where it sank in the 70s, is gradually gaining recognition. The management of the concern focused Datsun on budget segment, and Russian market considered one of the priorities.
The Datsun brand is regaining popularity.
Nuances of forming a model range
The peculiarities of creating your own model range lie in the task that was set before the brand management and its engineers - to create inexpensive, but quality cars. However, the release of a completely new model, taking into account the requirements for Russian realities, would be too expensive. As a result, Datsun marketers found perfect solution– take Russian cars as a basis, modify them, eliminate the shortcomings traditional for our automotive school and put on a different nameplate.
New emblem on re-faced Russian car — the simplest way creating a new model.
This kills several birds with one stone - in as soon as possible The model range is being replenished, the issue of service, ensures interchangeability of parts with those from domestic models, the category of people who have limited finances but want to drive a foreign car is targeted, and the desire of those who like to repair cars on their own is satisfied. In addition, no adaptation of the machine is required for Russian roads, because this potential was inherent in it from the very beginning, as well as a radical reconfiguration of the production line equipment. And the price turns out to be similar.
Datsun cars have become the embodiment of the desires of many Russian car enthusiasts.
Datsun model range
At the moment it is represented by two cars - the On-Do sedan and the Mi-Do hatchback. The first one was based on the Lada Granta, while the second one was created on the basis of the Lada Kalina. In addition, the company has repeatedly promised to launch a crossover into series, but this has not happened yet, and it is unlikely that the Russian market will be where sales will begin first. On the other hand, sales of a compact van will soon start on the Indian market. And the SUV has already been presented.
So far, the Datsun model range in Russia is represented by the On-Do sedan and the Mi-Do hatchback.
Datsun on-Do
Exterior on-Do
This is a 5-month-old sedan, made on the basis of the Lada Granta, but with a modified appearance - the front end received new optics, bumper outlines, as well as a branded radiator grille with chrome trim. In addition, the rear of the car was significantly lengthened, which was done to please those who often transport belongings or cargo. Lid luggage compartment, bumper, tail lights and wings - all this was also redone. As a result, a nice and respectable foreign model appeared on the basis of the domestic sedan.
Datsun on-Do and Lada Granta - there are more differences than you expect.
Technical characteristics of he-Do
In technical terms, there have been no fundamental changes. The goal of saving did not allow the installation of new engines on the new product, as a result of which the engineers had to be content with those already installed on AvtoVAZ models. As a result, the choice fell on a pair of 8-valve power units that consume AI-95 and are aimed at environmental standards Euro-4.
IN basic version a 1.6-liter, 82-horsepower engine is offered, with peak power at 5,100 rpm, and a maximum thrust of 132 Nm at 3,800 rpm. The power supply system is represented by an injector. With it, he-Do accelerates to hundreds in 12.9 seconds. and can reach a top speed of 165 km/h. Its consumption in mixed mode is 7.4 liters.
The 82-horsepower engine is offered only for the sedan in the basic configuration.
The second engine is the same injection 8-valve unit, taken from Priora, but with a lightweight CPG, other electronic settings(by calibration idle move etc.) and other modifications. Its output is slightly higher and equal to 87 hp. s., at the same 5,100 rpm, and the torque is slightly higher - 140 Nm at 3,800 rpm. Thanks to this, the On-Do with such an engine is more dynamic, accelerating to hundreds in 12.2 seconds and reaching a maximum of 173 km/h. Appetite, however, is almost the same - 7 liters per mixed cycle.
In addition to the base one, there is also an 87-horsepower engine.
In pairs with engines it is offered manual transmission for 5 gears. The chassis layout is standard and also taken from the Lada Grant - MacPherson struts on the front axle and a torsion beam at the rear.
Interior
Architecture inner world The sedan partly echoes the Granta's design. However, the Datsun on-Do has a completely different central console and instrument panel, the shape of the central air deflectors has been changed, other metal inserts have been added, a new steering wheel and other points have been added. The steering wheel itself is adjustable only in height. There is enough space in the back, but only for passengers of average height and build, but the sedan boasts a huge 530-liter trunk.
Many admit that the interior of on-Do is unexpectedly good.
Datsun mi-Do
Exterior
Mi-Do's appearance is different. And this is manifested not only in the layout of the body, but also in the outline of the front end. The hatchback is aimed at young people, so it received a slightly modified radiator grille configuration and even more angular optics. All this made the model faster. Otherwise, it repeats the silhouette of Kalina, but with its own characteristics, as well as a different design of the fifth door and rear lights.
The differences between Mi-Do and Kalina are obvious.
Specifications
Targeting a younger audience of buyers has led to a lack of motor range 82 hp engine - there is only an 87 hp version. With. The manual transmission is the same, but a 4-speed automatic transmission from Jatco has been added to it. Acceleration to hundreds depends on the transmission and is equal to 12 seconds. with “mechanics” and 14.3 with automatic transmission. The suspension layout is the same as that of the sedan.
Only Mi-Do has a 4-band automatic transmission.
Interior
The internal world of the mi-Do is similar to the on-Do, with the exception of the trunk, with a volume of 240 liters, which can be significantly increased by folding the rear sofa.
Options and cost
The equipment of the mi-Do and on-Do is the same, but the sedan has more cheap equipment. It all starts with the Access version, the only one available with an 82-horsepower engine. It has a minimal list of options - one airbag, EBA, EBD, ABS systems and audio preparation. 87 hp engine. With. can be obtained only starting with the Trust version, which comes in 3 versions. The situation is similar with the top version of Dream. In them, the sedan is equipped with an advanced audio system, navigation, a second airbag, all kinds of sensors and other options.
Multimedia, climate and more - privileges expensive versions hatchback.
The list of configurations for mi-Do is the same, but with differences. The hatchback begins to be equipped immediately with the Trust version (in 3 versions), and there are also 2 Dream modifications. In addition, each version can be purchased with an automatic transmission.
For Datsun on-Do they range from 406,000 rubles. up to 522,000 rub. At Mi-Do the price range is different - from 462,000 rubles. up to 596,000 rub.
Expansion of the model range
The brand does not intend to limit itself exclusively to a couple of models; in addition, management is also interested in other market segments. This determined the policy of expanding the model range. The first to enter service will be a compact van and an SUV.
Datsun Go+
Not long ago, a compact van from the Datsun brand was presented - the Datsun Go+ model, created on the basis Nissan Micra. Moreover, sales of this car will start in January 2016, but in India. Regarding Russia, the date of its appearance on our market has not yet been indicated.
Datsun Go+ is the company's future compact van.
Its technical filling will be represented by a 1.2-liter engine with 3 cylinders and 68 hp. With. power. It will be paired with a 5-speed MT, with which consumption in mixed mode will reach only 4.8 liters.
Despite its compactness (the length of the model is only 3,995 mm), the car will have 3 rows of seats, but this was achieved by reducing the standard trunk to 48 liters (347 liters when unfolded). In total, there are 4 configurations for the Datsun Go+.
Three rows of seats - very good, given such and such dimensions!
Datsun GO-Cross
The concept of this crossover was presented in 2015. Exact date The start of sales has not been announced. There are no final photographs either. On the other hand, it is known that its appearance will not be too different from the concept, and the market where the first batches of the Datsun GO-Cross will go on sale will be Indonesia.
Impressive appearance is the trump card of the concept. Will it be the same for a serial SUV?
It will be built on the Datsun Go+ platform and, like its donor, will be equipped with a 5 or 7-seater cabin. The engine will also be taken from the compact van - a 12-liter, 68-horsepower unit. So far, there is only data on front-wheel drive, but a 4x4 layout is not excluded. The bad news is that this crossover is not worth waiting for in our market. On the other hand, there is information about the upcoming release of an SUV for Russia. Most likely, it will also be designed on the basis of one of the AvtoVAZ models.
For now, the crossover is intended exclusively for Asia.
As you can see, the model range of the Datsun brand is expanding, but at the same time it also has its own specifics - first, the models are “tested” in Asian markets, and only then are supplied to Russia and other countries. And the tendency to create them based on existing models also cannot be ignored.
NATC GROUP company - official Nissan representative in Russia. They carefully monitor changes in the requirements of their customers. The economic indicators of countries are changing, living standards are rising, more and more potential clients are looking confidently into the future and have long-term plans. Based on this, the brand distributor in Russia continues the strategy chosen by the company for Japan, where Datsun is produced. The main operating principle is instant response and reflection of customer needs in new machine models.
In 1980, Nissan suspended the use of the Datsun brand, but today it has decided to revive the successful line of cars. Currently the concern manages three famous brands- Datsun, Infinity and Nissan. They are divided between three target audience segments.
According to this idea, the Datsun manufacturer will distribute cars with a hexagonal logo on the body as a local extension of the global concern. This increases customer confidence and makes for excellent advertising for the revived brand. At the same time, the Nissan Power 88 strategy involves the harmonious development and promotion of all three brands to the world market in order to meet the expectations of different customer groups.
Our values
- D ream - Dream. Dream with us, discover new opportunities, conquer previously unattainable heights.
- Access - Availability. The concept of the brand implies the fulfillment of the desire to own a reliable and stylish car.
- T rust - Trust. The manufacturer guarantees high quality Datsun cars as another confirmation of the impeccable reputation of Nissan and Infinity.
Datsun cars embody all the best that the concern has achieved over 80 years of existence. Repeating Nissan's achievements and implementing its own unique developments, the manufacturer creates cars that are attracting more and more attention from buyers in countries with actively developing economies.
After the return of the Datsun brand to the world market, the Nissan concern presented its updated symbol - a new hexagonal logo, designed to emphasize the modern style of these cars. By retaining part of the original logo, the company shows its commitment to tradition and fundamental principles - sincerity, which leads to success, and a responsible attitude to produce reliable products.

Hashimoto-san returned to Japan with the firm intention of starting car production.

The advantages and disadvantages of the Datsun on-DO 2018-2019 in a new body were identified based on reviews real owners. More detailed pros and cons of Datsun on-DO with manual and automatic can be found in the stories below:
Owner reviews
The impressions of a car worth half a million spoiled six months later, when rust began to appear on all four interior doors. Next are the sills, today I discovered rust on inside front hood. In general, iron rots earlier than on Soviet Zhiguli cars, which began to rot after 3 years of operation.
Video review
The car is worth the money, but only in 2014. The quality has not changed over time, but the price has increased significantly. This is not my first car, I had 2 fours, a VAZ 2104 and a VAZ 21111. Of course, in terms of comfort, the Datsun He-DO is better, but in terms of assembly and painting, I have never seen anything worse. The whole interior is rattling, the paint is falling off in layers, the dealership is rude and doesn’t accept complaints, blaming everything on the owner.
Kuzma Gerasimov, drives a Datsun on-DO 1.6 (87 hp) MT 2014
It’s a normal car, I haven’t changed anything except the oil in 60,000 km. The car works in taxi mode all day long. I rode off the winter with a bang, starting up without problems, the signaling system is original without the car factory, I change the oil every 10,000 km, I only used 5/40 synthetic Nord for Belgium.
Kurt, drives a Datsun on-DO 1.6 (87 horsepower) MT 2015
I have it DO in the Trust configuration, I took a VAZ 2114 to replace it. I was pleased with the power steering, lighting, trunk volume. The dynamics are not bad. At the second thousand kilometers, the engine fault light on the dashboard turned on. The mileage is already 9,000 km, the fault has not shown itself in any way. I use it in St. Petersburg, I drive along the Ring Road. It behaves very unstable at speed - it sways noticeably left and right. If there is rutting, then you can generally lose control.
The side windows don't go all the way down. The interior mirror is poor - you can’t see anything, you can’t change it to a panoramic one - the sun visors are in the way. There is not enough turn signal in the mirrors, the turn signal buzzer is tiresome, you have to turn on the turn signal just before a turn, just to listen to it less. With sharp acceleration, especially with slipping, the engine can suddenly drop speed to the minimum, which when overtaking and especially making a left turn at a traffic light can cause an accident.
Sergey Fluerar, review of Datsun on-DO 1.6 (87 hp) manual, 2015 model year.
Where can I buy?
I bought it in January 2017 in the Dream 1 configuration. It’s quite a worthy device (after the VAZ 15). The gearbox hums like everyone else, the brake pads whistle, the heater malfunctions (it blows in the wrong direction in auto mode).
Consumption is still in the run-in phase and only in the city - 12.5 liters. I liked another feature - foam rubber in the left central deflector - supposedly technological feature. I also noticed that they fog up rear lights in cold weather after washing and fog lights. In cold weather at -30 degrees, there is not enough force to open the rear left door; you have to help with your hands.
Review of Datsun on-DO 1.6 manual 2016
So far the impressions are only positive, I have only had the car for 2 weeks, and so far I have driven 300 km. The car is running in, and I’m also getting used to it. I can say that the engine and gearbox pair work well. The climate is very cool: the weather was from +15 to +28, and it works at “5”.

A revived Japanese brand car company Datsun, the rights to which belong to Nissan, has now become oriented towards the production of affordable cars.
The debut for the company was a new affordable sedan Datsun on-DO, designed specifically for Russian consumer. The new product is designed on the platform, but the design was carried out by Nissan specialists.
They decided to borrow the body from a Russian car. Power units were also borrowed, which, for natural reasons, were modified. The entire Datsun model range.
Based on the company’s plans, they planned to create a network for vehicle sales car showrooms, and the cars will be serviced at Nissan technical centers. Datsun on-DO can be classified as a niche of economy class cars.
Based on his position, he is capable of moving Russian and Chinese manufacturer, and in addition even used cars purchased in European countries.
It is not clear why the Russian auto giant decided to produce a direct competitor to Granta and Kalina during a sales decline own cars. Most likely, AvtoVAZ’s behavior makes sense, and even a slight decrease in profits from the sale of its cars can be compensated in another way.
History of creation
Japanese company Nissan already This is not the first time he has taken a closer look at the huge Russian automotive market. It was precisely for this direction that we decided to revive trademark Datsun. But then a logical question arises: why?
This decision can be explained quite logically - between Nissan’s Almera and VAZ’s Granta and Kalina, there is a fairly large niche that no one occupies. Therefore, the model was designed to cover this price segment.
Many Russian motorists have the funds to buy much better cars than Russian cars, but they are not enough to purchase a Japanese vehicle.
In addition to the market future, issues of prestige also played a big role in the company’s recovery: Nissan could not decide to provide its own name inexpensive car, so as not to lose face in the niche of expensive premium cars.
The sedan itself is assembled on one of the conveyors in Togliatti, where components of its own production are used. But it cannot do without imported spare parts.
Based on such a successful start to official sales, the company decided to increase production. Taking all this into account, the production of many units, components and parts will eventually be mastered at Russian enterprises.
Exterior
As already mentioned, the car is similar to the Lada Kalina 2 not only in technical aspects, but also in terms of visual parameters - if you look very quickly, you can even confuse them. It is logical to conclude that thanks to the use of more modern light optics, a different configuration of wings, bumpers with bright aerodynamic elements and other new parts, Lada
Kalina is noticeably inferior in exterior design, because the Datsun on-DO looks more serious and stylish, even compared to the VAZ Granta. In order to improve the external attractiveness of the car, the dimensions were artificially increased using rear overhang by 80 mm.
The nose of the body is decorated with a large trapezoidal radiator grille with a wide chrome frame and a filigree mesh with large cells.
You can also pay attention to the small, strict headlights, the embossed hood with stampings, the modest bumper, trimmed at the bottom and complemented by auxiliary holes for the fog lights, and the large, streamlined rear-view mirrors.
The side body of the Datsun on-DO shows off its unique fenders and the truly immodestly sized rear of the car.
Similarities with Granta
On the new sedan you can see the lines already familiar from the Grant car, along with contours and styling, but most of them are more expressive and modern. Stern compact sedan not lacking in charm and attractiveness.
Unique lampshades of light-amplifying equipment, large sizes a luggage compartment lid that provides comfortable access to the trunk and, finally, a lean rear bumper.
The Japanese managed to make the new elements neat and stylish, as well as modernize them and give them solidity.
The model looks nicer than its direct domestic competitor, which allows it to win this competition, winning the attention of car enthusiasts from Russia and beyond.
Despite the fact that the appearance of the vehicle is quite budget-friendly, however, with all this, the sedan looks quite attractive, which cannot be fully said about its domestic rival.
Dimensions
Vehicle dimensions As a result, the Datsun on-DO four-door sedan measures 4,337 mm in length, 1,700 mm in width and 1,500 mm in height. The wheelbase is 2,476 mm. The ground clearance has been increased to 185 mm, which will allow you to drive confidently even on a broken country road.
And with a fully loaded car, with five people, 50 kilograms in the luggage compartment, the ground clearance will be only 168 mm, which is very good, considering the quality of our roads.
Interior
The interior of the new Japanese car is designed on a platform Lada interior Granta and Lada Kalina, however, are very different from them. You can feel it almost everywhere - the center console, dashboard and so on. However, the steering wheel, seats and door card design were transferred to the Japanese from Lada.
The torpedo looks pretty good. This is achieved with the help of considerable volume and waves that smoothly flow across the top of the panel. The instrument panel has a familiar layout and on-board computer display, however, the chrome finish makes the instruments more solid and presentable.
The nozzles of the ventilation system, located on the side of the dashboard, retained their shape and location, like those of the Russian “brother”, but the central deflectors received a slightly different shape.
The console located in the center has a correct, ergonomically adjusted shape with the audio and climate system settings units located on it. All the keys and knobs on it are comfortable, you quickly get used to everything - everything is intuitive and readable.
If we talk about the dimensions of the interior of the Japanese sedan, then it remains the same, like that of Lada Granta. According to the manufacturers, the cabin is designed for 5 people. In reality, only two people can sit comfortably in the back, and the third seat is not designed for long trips.
In addition to the mentioned configurations designed to increase the level of comfort, the Datsun on-DO also has an electric drive for mirrors with a heating function.
In a more advanced configuration, the car boasts a front airbag for front passenger and side airbags, a multimedia system with a display that supports touch input, a Cityguide navigation system, a heated windshield and alloy wheels, designed for 14 or 15 inches.
Despite the large luggage compartment, it can be further expanded by folding it down if necessary. rear seats, which will result in an increase free space more than 2 times.
Improvements compared to Granta
The manufacturers also assured that the noise and sound insulation of the interior has been radically improved, the calibration of the springs along with the shock absorbers and the technical properties pendants.
Therefore inside Japanese car better, more comfortable than in Russian-made cars.
If we talk about the salon, here the design staff of the Japanese company tried to combine Japanese asceticism with the breadth of the Russian soul. It all starts with appearance and ends with modern materials - this is noticeably different from the domestic version, and for the better.
It’s not for nothing that many people call the salon good quality. If we take individual elements, they were able to fit together well, and they are perfectly secured.
Another undoubted advantage is the massive luggage compartment, the volume of which is about 530 liters. But there are moments that eloquently indicate that this is still budget model
– the seat is not height adjustable, and the range of adjustments is not that large.
The limited functionality of the car will not allow you to get completely comfortable behind the wheel. In addition, there are no options or armrests for the seats installed in the rear of the Japanese sedan.
Specifications
Power unit The engine on the Datsun on-DO is a four-cylinder petrol VAZ 1.6 liter in volume. The power of this “heart” develops to 82 Horse power
. This aspirated engine has four cylinders arranged in a row and a lightweight connecting rod and piston group. The power unit has a system distributed injection
fuel with electric control. The motor fully meets Euro-4 standards. Despite the VAZ origin of the engine, they were able to seriously modify it, and Japanese engineers were involved in the modernization. The motor operates on high octane gasoline
AI-95. Like the domestic version, here injection system
Thanks to this, it was possible to increase power along with torque while saving displacement.
Transmission
Installed manual transmission received the transfer cable drive Atsumitec and shift forks from Shaeffler (manufacturer: Germany).
A dry single-plate clutch is provided. As a separate option, you can install 4-band automatic transmission Jatco gearshift.
The manual transmission allows the sedan to reach the first hundred in 12.9 seconds, and its top speed is set at 165 kilometers per hour. If we talk about the “automatic” box, it loses 1.4 seconds to the “mechanics” in acceleration to 100 km/h, however, it is superior in the maximum speed limit at 1 km/h. According to the passport, for every 100 kilometers, the Datsun fuel consumption in the combined cycle is 7.4-7.7 liters of fuel (depending on the version of the car).
Suspension
In order to adapt the car to not very good roads new gas-filled shock absorbers were developed for it and subsequently installed, as well as vacuum boosters brakes
Besides, ground clearance was increased to 185 mm. When loaded it is slightly smaller – 168 mm.
Datsun on-DO received independent suspension with McPherson struts in front and a semi-independent torsion beam on the rear axle.
The suspension was retuned, some silent blocks were replaced with more durable ones, however, in general, this is already a familiar VAZ solution with its advantages and disadvantages.
Steering
Driving the Japanese sedan is quite easy, thanks to electric power steering, which is even included as standard.
Brake system
The front wheels are equipped with ventilated disc brakes, and the rear ones are simple drum ones, which is typical for VAZ-made cars. Hand brake mechanical.
It is dual-circuit with cross distribution of forces. The Datsun on-DO reviews have already collected quite good reviews and, in general, this is deserved. The car is made with high quality, which makes you feel good about it.

Safety
The car is already in standard configuration The Access is equipped with a driver's front airbag. The middle version already has a pair of airbags, and the top version also has side airbags. Also, among other things, to increase the safety of the “Japanese version of Lada” you can find:
- Seat belts;
- Seat belt pretensioners;
- Belt limiters;
- Electronic stability control (monitors the angle of rotation of the steering wheel in comparison with the actual course of the car, braking individual wheels if necessary).
The most simple equipment Japanese sedan Datsun ON-DO is equipped with:
- BAS (time assist function) emergency braking);
- ABS ( anti-lock braking system, which prevents the wheels from locking during braking);
- Driver's airbag.
If we talk about the Trust and Dream versions, they are equipped with side and passenger airbags security. Moreover, the models come with availability electronic control machine stability (ESC).
The rather humane pricing policy inherent in the Japanese sedan does not in any way affect the quality of the passive and active safety car.
Theoretical crash test
To date, the Datsun on-DO has not yet been crash tested. However, they checked for safety Lada car Granta, which, as we mentioned earlier, is the prototype of the Japanese car.
The debut inspection was carried out by Czech specialists at the TUV SUD laboratory, and the next one was carried out by the Auto Review magazine in 2012.
During research Russian car was able to demonstrate himself properly and achieved a result of 2 stars, in points - 8.4. According to Grant's results, she even outperformed Kalina, which suggests that hatchback Datsun on-DO also lost his points.
During the crash test of the Lada Granta, Japanese representatives were of considerable interest, because at that time they only had plans to create a vehicle based on the Lada.
A little later, Takata specialists began developing airbags and seat belts, which once again makes it possible to verify the advantage of the Japanese in a theoretical crash test over the Lada Granta.
Specialists from the Japanese company Nissan said that since it was able to get 3 stars on the safety scale (9.6 points), then Datsun on-DO will receive no less rating. The test itself was carried out using the offset frontal collision method.
As a result of the impact, the collision axis passed by the power unit and rushed towards the driver's seat. As for the front and rear doors of the left side of the car, they were opened under the influence of the powerful force of the collision. The door frame in front was deformed, causing the car to lose a point.
Such a malfunction is defined as a loss of integrity and a reduction in the degree of safety according to EuroNCAP standards. Speaking of the steering column, it is worth saying that it has moved inside the car by half a meter and deviated upward by 68 millimeters.
The displacement occurred following the deployment of the airbags. The cabin capsule was able to maintain its structural integrity; only the A-pillar was damaged, which was bent by 70 millimeters. This deviation is normal and indicates acceptable body strength.
The dummy's head did not hit the steering wheel or dashboard thanks to the airbag, which was able to deploy in time. However, there are also shortcomings with similar triggering.
The mannequin was thrown onto the side stand, as a result of which it was subjected to an impact that in reality would have caused a concussion or skull injury.
Quite unusual, however, is the standardization European company does not record or take into account such side effects when calculating the results.
The clutch and brake pedals were moved inside the car by 90 and 120 millimeters. Based on this displacement, they will not cause damage to the legs. The floor of the car was not greatly deformed, and the seats and parts of the interior were not displaced.
As a result, the direct relative of the Japanese sedan, the Lada Granta, scored 8.4 points out of the maximum possible 16. The following received similar ratings: vehicles, How Fiat Albea, Chevrolet Lanos and Hyundai Solaris. Theoretically, the Datsun on-DO is at a similar safety level to these cars.
