Datsun has launched limited-run models, called Remix Edition, of its Go hatchback and Go+ MPV at Rs 4.21 lakh and Rs 4.99 lakh, respectively (both prices, ex-showroom, Delhi). Both models feature exterior and the interior cosmetic changes in a bid to push sales of the rather slow-selling cars. Bookings have started for the special edition Go and Go+, which are Rs 9,000 and Rs 6,000 more than their respective high-spec T variants.

On the outside, the Remix Edition models gets various new finishes, like a black and orange dual-tone combo and a monotone Storm White for the hatchback and white, black and orange and a dual-tone silver for the MPV. Besides the colours, the special-edition models also get a new rear spoiler, black wheel covers, a black grille, chrome-finished exhaust tips and chrome bezels on the bumper.

The interiors of the limited-run models feature a cabin in piano black and new seat covers. Equipment levels are the same as the T variant with remote keyless entry and Bluetooth compatibility for the audio system offered as standard. Features such as follow-me-home headlamps, an electric power steering, a manual AC, front power windows, auxiliary-in and USB ports, and central locking continue to be available.

Mechanically, both models are unchanged from their standard brethren and sport the same 68hp, 1.2-litre petrol engine mated to a five-speed manual transmission.

The Go rivals the likes of the Maruti Alto K10 and Hyundai Eon, and higher-spec versions of the Renault Kwid and its sibling, the Datsun Redigo.
