DATSUN - ON DO - the sedan for 'HIS WAYS'

The Datsun –On Do –   well the wait is over, Datsun releases its sedan, the ON-DO. But wait!! Indian sedan lovers may be disappointed to learn that it’s for the Russian market. The differently named car derives its name from Japanese and Russian. 'On'- in Russian means “He” while 'Do'- roughly means way/moving. So the name sums up as “his way”. The car is not a pert butt sedan which means its bigger than the sedans you would find in India in the sub 4 metre cap. Sporting the new Datsun looks the automobile resembles the Granta.

            Powered by a 1.6 L , 87bhp petrol engine the vehicle sees it’s marriage to a 5 speed manual gearbox. The considerable length provides for plenty of boot space, 530 L to be precise. But the down side is that it lacks a heavy feature list unlike the others in the segment. The machine has been priced at a generous 400,000 Russian Rubles.
