Datsun on-Do: reviews of the owners, photos

The company "Datsun", located in Japan, belongs to the firm "Nissan". Since recently, the first was able to produce their own cars, which would be affordable for the population with medium incomes. The Datsun On-Do car (reviews about it will be discussed later) is the debut model. The sedan was created specifically for driving on Russian roads. The development was jointly carried out by two leading companies: domestic AvtoVAZ and Nissan.

The base car was "Lada Kalina" of the second generation. They are similar in both technical equipment and exteriors. "Exterior" of the car was developed by specialists of Nissan, but it is still quite similar to its prototype.

Exterior

It has already been said that Lada Kalina 2 became the base for Datsun On-Do. Reviews of motorists confirm this information. Their appearance is so similar that if you look at the "Japanese" with a quick look, not everyone will determine which car is in front of him. Of course, the car from Nissan received some individual elements. For example, the lighting system was installed more advanced, the wings acquired a different shape, new bumpers, etc. Due to this "Lada Kalina" noticeably loses in the race of exteriors. Moreover, the "Japanese" can be safely put with the domestic "Grant" in one line. And even in comparison with it, it will look more profitable and luxurious. The rear body kit adds overall dimensions to the car - plus 8 cm. This allowed to make the vehicle even more attractive on the visual level.

The manufacturer did not fail when he chose a new body, a bumper and wings for the car Datsun On-Do. The feedback of the owners in most cases reflects the admiration of the exterior. All the old and new elements in the hands of Japanese designers look fresh. They were able to connect the details into one and managed to add to it solidity and luxury. Buyers constantly allocate a cover of a luggage carrier which has received new registration, also attention turn on various светоусилительную to technics. This is evidenced by all the reviews.

Dimensions

A relatively small car is Datsun On-Do. Reviews that you can hear about the car, confirm that it is convenient to move around in the city, also a significant plus is the ability to park in different places. The total length of the car is 4 m 337 cm, width - 1 m 70 cm, height - 1 m 50 cm. As can be seen from these parameters, this is a typical urban sedan.

Due to the fact that the ground clearance is 18.5 cm, you can go by this car even on the most terrible country roads. The clearance will decrease slightly if you load the car to the maximum: 5 people, 50 kg of cargo. Its height will drop to 16.8 cm, but this is quite an adequate result, and for Russian roads will be just right.

Interior

Now you need to consider the interior of the car Datsun On-Do. Reviews sometimes contain such a sense that the control panel and some elements are not very high-quality or use them quite inconvenient. How is the situation in fact?

It is easy to guess that most of these characteristics of a Japanese car borrowed from the "Kalina" and "Grants". However, the execution style still took its toll - the panels and consoles have a completely different layout. What is left of domestic models? The steering position, the characteristics of the seats, as well as the door elements. This can be read in more detail at forums where discussions are devoted to Datsun On-Do. Reviews, photos, attached to them, perfectly demonstrate the convenience and comfort of the salon. However, this fact does not repel patriots.

The instrument panel received a display. Its finish has chrome inserts, so it looks much more solid. From the "Lada" Japanese car took over the location and layout of the fans. However, they got a completely new orientation - the deflectors became rectangular. This is the difference between Datsun On-Do.

Reviews often highlight the location of the console. It received an audio and climate system. It has special keys and pens that are easy to operate.

The interior dimensions of the sedan are similar to those that are in the characteristics of the "Grants". The passenger compartment is equipped with comfortable passenger seats (the maximum number of seats is 5). However, what kind of comfort do car enthusiasts give, considering the Datsun On-Do model? The owners' comments say that only two adults will be comfortable on the back sofa. Three will be cramped.

Specifications

The manufacturer tried in every possible way to hide the influence of the "Lada" model on his Japanese "work". What is the opinion of motorists on this issue? Unambiguous, he practically did not succeed. They distinguish several factors. These are brakes that are equipped with special vacuum-type amplifiers, as well as new (at that time) shock absorbers. These actions were taken in order to secure the ride on Russian roads and make it as comfortable as possible.

Sedan, designed for movement around the city and beyond, is Datsun On-Do. The feedback from owners says that its technical characteristics are ideal for operation under different conditions. The engine is designed for 1.6 liters; Has 4 cylinders. Power - 82 "horses". The power unit works in tandem with a mechanical transmission on 5 steps.
