The Datsun on-Do is a subcompact car manufactured specifically for the Russian market under the Datsun brand of Nissan Motor Company. It is a rebadged and restyled version of the AutoVAZ developed Lada Granta and it also has own VAZ-index 2195. The on-Do was launched in Russia on April 4, 2014, and AutoVAZ started serial manufacturing of the car in July 14, 2014.
Name
The word "Do" related to a Japanese traditional culture that can be translated into "move", while "on" indicates adjective or verb. When "Datsun" is added, it means a desire to open up access to mobility and freedom of movement for all.[2]
Design
The on-Do is 77 mm (3.0 in) longer than the Lada Granta and has different front and back similar to other Datsun models. It's wheelbase, height and width are unchanged.
Performance
The on-Do utilises a 1.6 L (98 cu in) straight-four engine that produces 87 hp (65 kW; 88 PS). The power is transmitted to the wheels using a 5-speed manual transmission.[1] A 4-speed Jatco automatic gearbox is available since 2016.[3]
As for sedan transmission Datsun here again the Japanese decided not to reinvent the wheel, but to take the ready 5-speed manual VAZ. The manufacturer claims that for the front-wheel drive car Datsun on-DO the domestic box was slightly upgraded to reduce vibration and noise. The gear ratio of the main pair of the Datsun mechanical box is 3.7, as is the case with Granta. Manufacturer decided not to equip Datsun sedan with automatic the transmission (AT).[4] But it is already known for sure that the machine will appear on the hatchback Datsun mi-DO.
