Exterior Looks and Dimensions
The Datsun Go gets an extremely sleek and elegant look. the front grille with the chrome border and the horizontal DRLs do break the overall monotony of the design to give the car a bolder front fascia. The side profile, however, may not impress you so much as the overstretched rear does not look proportionate. The rear, however, looks subtle and lacks any aggressive design element.
