Though the GO-Cross is set for unveil at the Auto Expo, it is not yet green-lit for production, according to the company. Vincent Cobee, Global Head of Datsun, told IndianAutosBlog recently that the next Datsun launch in India will be a model based on the CMF-A platform (that underpins the Renault Kwid) and that it will happen in early-2016.

He was referring to the Datsun Redi-GO that was recently spied testing in Chennai. It is likely that the production-spec Redi-GO will be presented at the Auto Expo in Greater Noida in February.
