Datsun has unveiled two new special models, Redi GO crossover Concept and GO+ compact MPV at Auto Expo 2014 in Delhi.
Datsun, The Nissan's budget brand, here they wants to get in the emerging Indian market . It has already showcased the Go hatchback and the Go+ MINI MPV to cater to this segment. But, it believes a gap still remains to be plugged. And, no, it's not the compact sedan space Datsun is looking at. Yes, the compact sedan segment has been growing, and it does hold a lot of potential - why else would we have seen multiple unveils for this category this Expo, namely the Tata Zest, Ford Figo Concept and the Hyundai Xcent?
But, the success of this segment depends heavily on the excise duty benefit for small cars continuing for years to come. Now, a compact SUV (read under 4-metres) too relies on this excise duty holiday, but because it is an SUV - and SUVs as we all know is and will remain in great demand for years to come - literally halves the risk.
