Review : Datsun GO Panca Hatchback 5 Seater, Timenews

From the front exterior, there is actually almost no difference between the hatchback and the Datsun Datsun GO GO + ultra small MPV (we are still confused what Datsun GO + belongs to). Only Datsun provides additional body kit accessories on the front and back which makes it look more sporty and dynamic. The rest is still exactly the same as the Datsun GO + 5 + 2 bench, Timenews.



From the side you can see a very noticeable difference due to the loss of glass on the pillar C. Yup, like LCGC in general, now looks shorter and added side skirts and body molding that makes it more sporty. Unfortunately, this car still uses 13-inch wheels with a cover that makes it look sleek.

From the back, despite using the same design model, the C pillar made softer on the GO Panca Datsun hatchback looks prettier than its 7-seater variants, which we think is even more beautiful than the Nissan March. In the back we will also find rear spoiler accessories and rear difusser to enhance the appearance. But do not expect too much, because the model that fits the aero kit is only available on the Datsun Panca T GO Active type. However, it appreciates the exterior appearance of GO Bench Datsun which is so enchanting compared to the LCGC on the market today.

Going into the interior, in fact we will not find the difference between GO + Panca Datsun Datsun GO Panca MPV with the exception of rear hatchback. But because this Datsun GO Panca hatchback is a hatchback (city car), in fact compared to its competitors, the Datsun GO Panca is too simple.

First, the Datsun GO Panca comes with only two audio options, including a mobile docking station and a JVC head unit with USB and AUX inputs without a CD slot, but fortunately can capture radio signals. But unfortunately in all types, 5 seats Datsun Indonesia GO only equipped with 2 front speakers, this is because minus the rear tray that provides 2 slots for speakers such as GO Datsun hatchback model India.

Similarly with the power windows provided, compared to its competitors in the LCGC class, Datsun GO Panca is equipped with 2 power windows on both front doors, but the driver's door can not manage the power window on the passenger door and does not have a car and lock as a competitor.

The quality of interior materials and workmanship do not need to be commented on as they are still the same as other LCGCs. Unfortunately we did not find a dashboard with good functionality due to minimal storage space. This car is also not equipped with an electric door mirror.
Speedometer, AC, Door Trim and other twins are exactly the same as our Five Review Datsun GO + MPV. So actually there is no need for a review here.

Talking about accommodation is actually no different from Bench to Datsun Datsun GO GO + Panca. The driving position is the steering wheel position is too high, pulling the handbrake lamp model but it looks fragile, and the position of the rear lever is not comfortable to operate. But fortunately the car was very relieved.

The second row of benches actually has the same size as the twin, but on the hatchback type it looks narrower in the foot and head compartments, but when we look at the dimensions, the wheelbase does not change, so most likely because a little lower roof at the rear gives different impressions. However, although the roof design is lower, the rear passenger head does not stick to the car ceiling.

It is unfortunate that in the second row seat of the car headrest is still using a fixed model, not a tow model, so when not in use it will look messy and uncomfortable when used. The others are still exactly the same as Datsun GO + Panca.

Opening the luggage can only be done by pulling the lever under the driver's seat as the first-generation Avanza, and the luggage issue should be noted that the luggage of this car is very spacious, perhaps one level under the provisions of Toyota and Daihatsu Ayla Agya luggage space. Unfortunately the car luggage floor is not solid as it is only equipped with a cover made of thick fabric and we will not find a tray to place luggage as an Indian variant.

The machine used is the same as its twin, GO + Panca, which is a 1,200 cc HR12DE 3 cylinder engine with 68 hp energy. With smaller dimensions and lighter weights than its twin twin, we believe that acceleration, handling, and fuel consumption can be more secure.
This car is equipped with two excellent features such as Follow me Home, parking sensor, remote alarm, and immobilizer that are not easily broken. In addition, the speedometer is also equipped with MID (Multi Information Display) integrated with tachometer, gas tank indicator and vehicle mileage.

Datsun-GO-T-Active, In fact, if this car is given comprehensive features like its competitors such as wheels with larger tires, more qualified audio, more humane rear seat belts, electric door mirrors and some parts are made at a better price may be the same with Honda Brio Satya and Toyota Agya. But once again there he cleverly made Datsun's car really adjustable between prices and it made as if we understood that this was a cheap car.
