New sedan datsun he do broke into the market of budget sedans in Russia, attracting good technical characteristics, a variety of trim levels and of course affordable price. Let's just say that Russian version Datsun neither has anything in common, for example with the Indian Datsun. Maybe only the general style of the external corporate style is the same, otherwise these are completely different cars.
History of appearance new brand Datsun in Russia is quite interesting. The company Datsan (DATson) existed in Japan at the beginning of the last century. Then it was renamed Datsun, then it was taken over by Nissan. At the same time, at one time, the Datsun and Nissan brands were even sold in parallel, until Nissan decided that all corporation cars should have a single name. Datsuns were produced from 1931 to 1986. In the USA, the brand appeared in 1958, and Nissan came there a few years later. So, in order not to compete, they decided to unite the brand, which, according to various estimates, took up to half a billion dollars and several years.
However, in 2012, seeing the rapid growth of emerging markets and the success there budget cars Nissan decided to revive the old brand. Under brand Datsun decided to sell inexpensive budget cars in emerging markets. So in 2013, the production and sale of the first revived Datsuns began in India.
Datsun came to Russia in 2014. The Japanese did not reinvent the wheel, they took finished car Lada Granta (Kalina platform) and based on it created their own car. Russian production Japanese car today it has been established at Avtovaz. The budget sedan was named, according to the manufacturer, this car received enhanced sound insulation and suspension. great attention given to safety, except standard set front airbags and ABS there are side airbags, booster emergency braking(BAS), brake force distribution (EBD), system electronic stabilization on slippery road(ESP).
Representatives of Datsun claim that their car, although made on a platform Russian car will meet high standards Japanese quality. But we can only judge this by the reviews. real owners sedan Datsun on-DO, which do not yet exist.
Despite the fact that the Datsun on-DO is based on the Lada Kalina (like the Lada Granta), the sedan has a more attractive appearance. The designers managed to make a small car quite decent sedan. Large optics and a large grille did their job. We are watching photo of a new Datsun car Further.

Datsun on-DO trunk deserves separate conversation because it is perhaps the most big trunk in your class. It is not clear how the designers and designers managed to harmoniously “attach” such a large trunk to such small car like Lada Kalina. 530 liters of volume, plus folding rear seats, make transporting almost any household belongings a problem. Do not forget that under the trunk floor Datsun also fits full size spare. We are watching Datsun trunk photo, perhaps the main advantage of the car.

Video Datsun he up
Video of the solemn launch of the Datsun car into production at AvtoVAZ.
Unfortunately, there is no full-fledged video of the crash test of the car and its test drive on the network. But as soon as it appears, we will definitely supplement our article with this video.
Datsun is a Japanese company owned by Nissan. Recently, the former has been able to produce its own cars, which would be affordable for the population with average incomes. Datsun car On-Do (reviews about it will be discussed later) is the debut model. The sedan was created specifically for driving on Russian roads. Two leading companies were jointly engaged in development: domestic AvtoVAZ and Nissan.
The base car was the second generation Lada Kalina. They are similar as technical equipment, as well as the exterior. The “appearance” of the car was developed by Nissan specialists, but it is still quite similar to its prototype.
Exterior
It has already been said that Lada Kalina 2 became the basis for the Datsun On-Do. Reviews of motorists confirm this information. Their appearance is so similar that if you take a quick look at the "Japanese", then not every person 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, the Lada Kalina noticeably loses in the exterior race. 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 made it possible to make the vehicle even more attractive at the visual level.
The manufacturer did not lose when he chose new body, bumper and fenders for Datsun On-Do. Owner reviews in most cases display admiration for the exterior. All old and new elements in the hands of Japanese designers look fresh. They were able to combine the details into one and managed to add solidity and luxury to it. Buyers constantly highlight the trunk lid, which has received a new design, and also pay attention to various lighting equipment. All reviews testify to this.
Dimensions
Relatively small is On-Do. The reviews that you can hear about the car confirm that it is convenient to move around in the city, and the ability to park in various places is also a significant plus. total length car - 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 drive this car even on the most terrible country roads. The clearance indicator will decrease slightly if you load the car to the maximum: 5 people, 50 kg of cargo. Its height will decrease to 16.8 cm, but this is quite an adequate result, and for Russian roads will be just right.
Interior
Now we need to consider the interior of the Datsun On-Do. Reviews sometimes contain such a meaning that the control panel and some elements are not of very high quality or it is very inconvenient to use them. How is the situation in reality?
It is easy to guess that most of these characteristics of the car Japanese made borrowed from "Kalina" and "Grants". However, the execution style still took its toll - panels and consoles have a completely different layout. What is left of domestic models? The position of the steering wheel, the characteristics of the seats, as well as the door elements. You can read more about this on the forums where discussions are devoted to the Datsun On-Do. Reviews, photos attached to them perfectly demonstrate the convenience and comfort of the cabin. However, this fact repels non-patriots.
Got a display. Its finish has chrome inserts, so it looks much more solid. From the Lada, the Japanese car adopted the location and shape of the fans. However, they got a completely new orientation - the deflectors became rectangular. This is what makes the Datsun On-Do different.
Inexpensive compact sedan"on-DO" became the first model with which "new - well-forgotten old" Japanese brand Datsun entered the Russian market - official sales of this three-volume vehicle in the Russian Federation began at the end of the summer of 2014.
It is noteworthy that the implementation of the novelty was established through the network of Datsun branded car dealerships, but the maintenance of cars of this brand (at the initial stage) was carried out at Nissan service centers. However, this is where the "kinship" of these brands ends, because. The main competitors of the Datsun on-DO sedan in Russia can be considered Lada cars, compact Chinese novelties ... as well as used compact foreign cars.
It is also funny that, in the face of reduced production own cars, AvtoVAZ took up the production of a direct competitor in the face of Datsun on-DO, which, moreover, also borrowed a platform and engine from VAZ. Perhaps this is a hidden "financial maneuver", but it can be guaranteed that the popularity of the "Grant" and "Kalina" models has clearly not grown with the release of "on-DO". Moreover, fierce competition was indicated from the very beginning, when at the start of sales in the press they began to write “on-DO is a redesigned Kalina that meets the needs of the Japanese.”
The appearance of the Datsun on-DO is quite budgetary, but at the same time quite attractive. It reads "notes of VAZ products", but the Japanese noticeably redrawn the front and rear, which gave the new product its own design idea.
The length of the Datsun on-DO sedan is 4337 mm, wheelbase is equal to 2476 mm, the width of the body is within 1700 mm, and the height does not exceed 1500 mm. Of particular note is the clearance, which is 185 mm, but when fully loaded (five passengers + 50 kg in the trunk) it drops to 168 mm, which is enough even to compete with some crossovers.
The Japanese have worked on a five-seater saloon on a much larger scale than on the exterior.
Noticeably (compared to Kalina), the quality of finishing materials has grown, sound insulation has improved, the front panel has become a little prettier, the level of equipment has increased, and the trunk has set a new class record in terms of capacity - 530 liters.
On Russian market Datsun on-DO is equipped with two four-cylinder gasoline "aspirated" to choose from (meet Euro-4 eco-standards), well known to domestic motorists for "VAZ" products:
- The basic version is a 1.6 liter (1596 cm³) engine with a system multipoint injection fuel, lightweight connecting rod and piston group and 8-valve timing, which develops 87 Horse power at 5100 rpm and 140 Nm of torque at 3800 rpm.
- An alternative to it is a 1.6-liter (1596 cm³) unit equipped with a multi-point “power”, a 16-valve DOHC timing belt with dynamic supercharging, producing 106 hp. at 5800 rpm and 148 Nm of ultimate thrust at 4000 rpm.
By default, the engines work in tandem with a 5-speed manual transmission with cable drive Atsumitec and shift fork off German company Shaeffler, and optionally combined with a Jatco 4-speed automatic transmission.
Depending on the modification, the four-door accelerates from standstill to the first “hundred” after 10.5-14.3 seconds, and can accelerate to a maximum of 165-181 km / h.
In combined mode, the car "digests" from 6.7 to 7.7 liters of fuel for every 100 kilometers.
As mentioned above, the front-wheel drive Datsun on-DO is based on a common platform with Kalina, which means that the car received independent suspension on MacPherson struts in front and semi-independent torsion beam behind. Of course, the suspension was slightly reconfigured, and some of the silent blocks were replaced with more durable ones, but in general, this is a well-known VAZ design with all its pluses and minuses.
Front axle wheels show ventilated disc brakes, behind the "Japanese" is limited to cheaper drum mechanisms. The parking brake is here mechanical drive, and the rack and pinion steering mechanism is supplemented with electric power.
In the Russian market, the Datsun on-DO sedan in 2017 is presented in the Access, Trust and Dream trim levels at a price of 442,000 rubles per base. An intermediate version will cost from 474,000 rubles, the “top modification” cannot be bought cheaper than 533,000 rubles (the surcharge for the “automatic” in both cases is 50,000 rubles), and versions with a 106-horsepower engine are offered at a price of 513,000 rubles .
- In the basic solution, the car is equipped with: electric power steering (with the ability to adjust it in height), heated front seats, folding rear seats, full-size spare wheel, ABS systems, BAS (Brake Assist) and EBD (Electronic Brakeforce Distribution), as well as an airbag for the driver and Isofix system for attaching child seats.
- The Trust package will add: central locking, on-board computer, airbag front passenger, fog lights, electrically adjustable and heated rear-view mirrors, front and rear mudguards, as well as chrome trim in interior elements.

revived Japanese brand Datsun that belongs Nissan, is now focused on the production of budget cars. The first model of the manufacturer was the budget sedan Datsun on-DO, designed specifically for the Russian market. Its presentation took place on April 4, 2014 in Moscow.
The new Datsun on-DO 2018-2019 (photo and price) is built on the basis of Lada Kalina 2, and specialists from the Nissan global center located in Japan worked on the design of the model. The car received a hexagonal grille, which has become a signature feature of Datsun models, large lighting equipment and a large rear overhang.

MT5 - 5-speed manual, AT4 - 4-speed automatic
In general, the appearance of the Datsan on-DO 2019 resembles Grant, especially in profile. But the refusal of windows in rear pillars visually even more weighted the already impressive stern. From this, the sedan looks somewhat disproportionate and heavy.
The overall length of the Datsun on-Do is 4,337 mm, which is 77 mm longer than the Lada Granta, but the width (1 700) and height (1 500) are completely identical. At the same time, the trunk volume of the Datsan is 530 liters (it exceeds the Grants compartment by 10 liters), and the ground clearance is as much as 185 millimeters (when fully loaded, the clearance decreases to 168 mm).
The interior architecture of the sedan is also strongly reminiscent of Grant. Borrowed from the latter steering wheel and instrument panel, climate control unit and dashboard. But the design of the front panel and the organization of the center console are solved in a different style.
As a power unit for Datsun on-DO for a long time only a 1.6-liter 8-valve VAZ engine was available, available in 82 and 87 hp. (140 Nm). It is aggregated in tandem with a 5-speed mechanical box(A version with a Jatco quad-range machine appeared in the fall of 2016). From zero to hundreds of initial sedan accelerates in 12.9 seconds. (87-horsepower version is 0.7 seconds faster), and the maximum speed is 165 and 173 km / h, respectively.
In the fall of 2017, a sixteen-valve 1.6 with a power of 106 hp appeared in the lineup, but, unlike the original, it was changed here main couple from 3.7:1 to 3.9:1, which reduced the acceleration time to hundreds from 10.9 (at Ladah) to 10.5 seconds. So far, the top engine is available only with automatic transmission, but in the future, an automatic will appear for it.
Auto production has been established at the Volga Automobile Plant in Togliatti, sales of new items started in the summer of 2014. The price of the new Datsun on-DO 2019 in the basic Access version is 461,000 rubles, and the cost of a car in more advanced Trust and Dream trim levels starts at 493,000 and 552,000 rubles, respectively. Surcharge for automatic transmission (available only for an 87-horsepower engine) is 50,000 rubles, and versions with a 106-horsepower engine are 15,000 more expensive than 87-horsepower ones.
- The initial version of the sedan is equipped with a driver's airbag, electric power steering, ABS + EBD (system electronic distribution brake force), Brake Assist (BAS), height-adjustable steering column, heated front seats and folding rear seatbacks.
- Intermediate version Trust has two front airbags, fog lights, side mirrors with electric drive and heating, on-board computer and central locking. And for a surcharge, such a car can be equipped with climate control and a multimedia system with Bluetooth and four speakers.
- Finally, the top-end Datsun on-DO is already equipped with multimedia and climate in the base, plus the Dream version flaunts rear power windows and 15-inch alloy wheels. At the same time, a stabilization system, side airbags, light and rain sensors, rear parking sensors and regular system navigation with 7.0 inch color display.
To implement the model, a branded dealer network is being created, which at first was represented only in 15 cities (Volgograd, Voronezh, Yekaterinburg, Kazan, Moscow, Nizhny Novgorod, Omsk, Orenburg, Ryazan, Samara, Tyumen, Ulyanovsk, Ufa, Khabarovsk, Chelyabinsk), but over time it should cover all big cities, and the number of centers will reach hundreds.
Also, the decoding of the name of this model deserves special mention. According to the manufacturer, the word "DO" is associated with Japanese traditional culture and is translated into Russian as "way" (also means movement), and "on" is consonant with the pronoun "he", which is intended to "emphasize the male component in the character of the car."
In general, the name of the car can be translated as "the brand's desire to open access to mobility and freedom of movement for everyone."
Among the abundance of automobiles at the stands of the Moscow motor show MIAS-2014, a hatchback attracted special attention of Russian visitors Datsun mi-DO. This model is unique, because never before in the history of the automotive industry has there been a case that a Japanese car was built on the basis of a Russian passenger car. And the five-door mi-DO is just such a unique, disruptive event, because the brainchild Japanese company Nissan was designed on the basis of the famous development of Togliatti engineers of the "" model.
What is the history of Datsun and what is the connection with Nissan?
A meticulous reader may ask at a loss what Nissan has to do with it, if we are talking about a passenger car under the name Datsun Mi-Do. But the connection here is direct and most immediate, because, in fact, in the automotive world, “at first there was a word” Datsun and only then the company was absorbed, reorganized and renamed Nissan. And now, a year and a half ago, after two decades of oblivion, the Japanese decided to bring the old brand back to life in order to launch production under this name. cheap cars for growing markets, such as Indian, South African and our Russian with Ukrainian. And since now Nissan, together with Renault, actually owns our VAZ, it was decided to open the production of cars under the Datsun brand in the Russian Federation.
Name Datsun mi-DO
The Japanese love figurativeness and a very specific meaning hidden in unusual poetic constructions. Calling the new hatchback a verbal mi-DO design, the manufacturers wanted to emphasize the international features of an unusual Russian-Japanese car. The word DO in Japanese means "way", "movement" or "striving for something", and the particle Mi is used as an analogue of the sound English word me, which can be translated as "my". As a result, the new Hatch has the pretentious name "my way" or "my tool to achieve something."
The appearance of the new mi-DO hatchback
A little earlier, under this revived brand, the on-DO sedan was introduced, which was also created on the basis of a small car, which at one time received flattering characteristics from the lips of Putin himself. Therefore, examining the appearance of a new Japanese car, most viewers will compare mi-DO with Kalina and with the above-mentioned sedan, trying to catch the similarities or rejoice at the differences.
The new five-door Datsun mi-DO, to be honest, is somewhat similar to the Kalina in the hatchback body variation. This is especially noticeable when viewed in profile, but to the honor of the Japanese, it must be admitted that they fought very effectively against the manifestation of family ties in their offspring with the Russian maternal model. The profile was corrected with body-color moldings and alloy wheels. When looking at the “full face”, the similarity is completely minimal, because the “Japanese” has a completely different “front end”. Here is a more modern bumper and fashionable optics and an unusual cut of the radiator grille. These elements are similar to those installed on the “brother” named on-DO, but it cannot be said that the models are visual twins. Well, of course, the hatch feed is not at all like back sedan, and Mi-Do is as much as 620 mm shorter than the four-door Datsun.
The exterior of the Japanese Hatch looks much more modern than the appearance of the ever-memorable Kalina. This is quite a modern and respectable car with a fairly dynamic appearance. The compactness of the car's features makes it a clear contender for the title of "owner of the city", and the presence of fashionable details may well allow the model to take its rightful place in the "youth car" category.
If in appearance there are differences between the on-DO sedan and the mi-DO hatchback, then in the decoration inner space manufacturer decided to use complete identity. The interior is laconic with a fair amount of practicality. The front panel is quite compact, and the plastic used does not inspire boredom with a too cheap look. By the way, the task is to defeat salon squeaks that were distinctive feature all models of VAZ and Kalina, including, were completed by engineers from Datsun. They paid a lot of attention to the anti-noise preparation of the cabin, which eventually bore fruit - the driver and passengers will only remotely hear the noise of the road and the engine.
Pictured is the trunk of a car
The front row seats are quite comfortable, and the second row can easily accommodate three adults. backs rear seats can be folded in a ratio of 60 to 40, which allows you to put in luggage compartment bulky things. The trunk is not very large (less than 240 liters), but since we are not talking about an SUV, the owner is unlikely to carry large amounts of luggage.
