A budget brand owned by the Japanese company Nissan can make changes in its market policy in accordance with the demand currently existing on the models it produces – the on-DO model in the Sedan Datsun on-Do and mi-DO, which is available on the hatchback market .
Creating these models on the basis of the domestic platform in the company, they were divided not only by price tags, but also by the equipment level, and also by the target audience. This division led to the fact that the machine in its equipment was only a mi-DO hatchback. But the sedan on-DO had to be content only with mechanics. However, probably the needs dictated by the market will force the manufacturer to equip the automatic and sedan.
In addition, the hatchback has a richer base configuration, with a more powerful power unit and better noise insulation. On mi-DO, even rubber is put in a higher class. Although today buying tires for any car has long ceased to be a problem. Here you can choose any size and manufacturer. And most importantly, buy wheels that you can afford. And put even a decent car on a budget car.
One of the information publications, referring to sources in the company Datsun, said that it is likely that soon on the market will be a sedan on-DO with a gun. According to the information in the car it is planned to install 4 range automatic machine from the company Jatco. While there is no information about when this model should appear on the market. But the company said that if there is a significant demand for a sedan with a rifle, it will be satisfied.
If such a car appears, then the vector of this model will change slightly and appeal to the young customers of the company and residents of large cities. Where it is rather difficult without an automatic transmission. So far, the sedan is available in the market with a 1.6-liter engine and engine. A potential buyer can choose one of two versions. Their power is 82 or 87 horsepower. In the base, the sedan will cost the potential customer $6550. The cost of hatch Datsun mi DO at the moment is $7500. To become the owner of the version with the automatic machine the potential owner will have to pay already $8500.
Recall that the sedan of the Japanese budget brand was created on the basis of the domestic Lada Grant, and a hatchback based on Kalina. Cars even produce in Togliatti, but as the leaders of the Japanese brand Datsun say, their cars are more reliable and of high quality. Although the main nodes and aggregates in all models are exactly the same.
The main Datsun mi DO engine before this gasoline engine with a displacement of 1.6 liters with 87 hp. Modern this power unit can not, because its various modifications are installed on Lada cars for many years. This is an 8-valve engine with one camshaft and a timing belt drive equipped with electronic fuel injection.
The itself, the Datsun mi DO engine on the domestic cars is factory-marked VAZ-11186 . Actually even a cursory glance under the hood of the Japanese Datsun it is clear that there is a native, domestic and painfully familiar motor.
Salon Datsun mi do is identical to the interior of Datsun in a sedan car. But with the naked eye you can see that the salon was done according to the Lada Kalina patterns, but with the addition of its own unique features. A large steering wheel seems to be a common design solution for all models of the Japanese budget brand. Seats for their comfort and convenience are not much different from what is on the domestic cars Lada. The capacity of the saloon in the hatch is small, because the wheelbase is no more and no less than that of Kalina. In top-end configurations in the center console is a 7-inch touchscreen monitor with built-in navigation cards. In the middle version there is a monochrome display of the multimedia system.
The 8-valve engine is not very reliable, due to the belt in the timing case. Also, fuel consumption for a small car could be smaller. The motor by the way eats only 95-gasoline. Dynamics is also not hurricane. In general, the average power unit for a budget car. Representatives of Datsun say that the settings of the engines themselves differ from those used by the VAZ.
As for the Datsun transmission in this case, the Datsun manufacturers decided not to experiment, but to use the domestic mechanical gearbox with 5-steps. The same is established on Lada Kalina. A feature of the hatchback Datsun mi to become the availability and automatic option, which in the sedan Datsun on-DO is not provided. Automatic Datsun is already a Japanese company Jatco (it also costs Ladas). Model of the machine JF414E. This is a 4-speed automatic (full-fledged torque converter), which is promised to supply Datsun hatchbacks.

Exterior or The appearance of the Datsun mi was created in Datsun’s own corporate style, which has already been applied to the first Indian Datsuns. Let’s say at once Indian versions of the budget car, except for the name with Russian cars have nothing in common. Datsun mi do received a large and expressive radiator grille with large optics, an original hood and a bumper. The rear optics are also original. But if you look from the side, then Kalina’s relationship and mi-do is obvious. We look at photos of the hatch Datsun mi do next.
It remains an open question whether Datsun will use the more modern, powerful and economical 16-valve Lada engines? Or the status of a very low-cost Japanese brand will not allow installing more expensive power units under the hood of Datsun.

The basic complete sets of two Trust and Dream, plus several additional versions. The starting price of the car at the moment is $7300 .

Engine Datsun before like the general platform, domestic. If you look under the hood of Datsun, you will find there a painfully familiar motor, the ancestor of which was still on the VAZ 2108. This engine was certainly modernized, but the design itself for several decades. We look at the photo of the Datsun car’s engine compartment.
The use of the domestic engine in Datsun’s budget car is justified, since repair and maintenance of such a motor can be carried out in any garage on its own. If you consider, the new budget sedan is aimed at regional buyers, where the service may not be very good, then this choice is logical.
Datsun customers are offered two versions of the engine capacity of 82 and 87 hp. A more powerful engine has a lightweight piston, connecting rods, which added not only horsepower, but also torque. In addition, the engine capacity of 87 horsepower is even more economical. Today motor 82 hp Familiar to Lada buyers under the name VAZ-11183 more powerful power unit 87 hp Has the index VAZ-11186 .
The gas distribution mechanism (GRM) of both power units is completely identical and driven by a belt. Yes, in the engine Datsun in the timing is a belt . Both engines have 8 valves per 4 cylinders, the camshaft is traditionally located on top. The 4-cylinder in-line engine has a phased fuel injection as a power system. Motors comply with the ecological standard Euro 4, as fuel used gasoline AI-95.

As for sedan transmission Datsun here again the Japanese decided not to reinvent the wheel, but to take the ready 5-speed manual VAZ. The manufacturer claims that for the front-wheel drive car Datsun on-DO the domestic box was slightly upgraded to reduce vibration and noise. The gear ratio of the main pair of the Datsun mechanical box is 3.7, as is the case with Granta. Automatic the transmission (AKPP) on sedan Datsun the manufacturer decided not to put. But it is already known for sure that the machine will appear on the hatchback Datsun mi-DO.
A budget brand owned by the Japanese company Nissan can make changes in its market policy in accordance with the demand currently existing on the models it produces – the on-DO model in the Sedan Datsun on-Do and mi-DO, which is available on the hatchback market .
