The Datsun GO+ 7-seat MPV features foldable third-row seats, which when folded, leads to 347 litres of luggage. Being an economy car, basic features like driver's side airbag, air conditioner, drive computer, dark interior and mobile docking station form the GO+'s highlights. Both GO+ and GO+ Panel Van were showcased at the SA Festival of Motoring earlier this month.
