EQUIPMENT AND COST
It’s nice that Datsun does not save on the safety of its passengers, offering even in the basic version a pair of air-running, supplemented by ABS, BAS and EBD systems. Noticeably – the level of protection, as for the price of 432,000 rubles, is almost unprecedented! Otherwise, however, nothing outstanding – a minimum set of amenities, consisting of an on-board computer, front power windows and power mirrors.
Naturally, with the increase in price, the list is replenished with new devices. So, for 456,000 rubles. Datsun Mi-Do also has climate control. And for 466,000 you can get a car with a multimedia system that has a 2DIN monochrome screen, two pairs of speakers, Bluetooth, an SD card slot and HandsFree function.
- An audio system with a small monochrome display in the “base” is not supplied.
Stage changes occur in the next version, which is already sold for 482,000 rubles. The Mi-Do gets stylish, 15-inch moldings, door handles and mirrors painted the same color as the body, door moldings and fog lights. There are also enough innovations in the cabin – this is parking sensors, and full power accessories, and rain and light sensors, and the ESC system (dynamic stabilization), and an alarm system. Definitely worth the extra money!
Most of all you have to pay for the top version – 516,000 rubles. But for such an amount, mi-Do will be equipped with a navigation system with maps of the CIS countries, a heated windshield, and security bastions will be reinforced with side airbags.
- With navigation, the car is already expensive – 516,000 rubles, and this is without an “automatic”.
All announced prices imply the purchase of a Datsun with “mechanics”. If you want an “automatic”, then you need to add another 40,000 rubles to each of them.
APPEARANCE DATSUN MI-DO
There is no doubt about the relationship with Kalina, and some design decisions are made, as they say, “on the contrary”. Here, and the front of this is the first confirmation. If Lada Kalina has a thin radiator grille and a powerful air intake, then the opposite is true – a small air intake and a massive grille with a large emblem.
- Differences with Kalina are visible, as they say, to the naked eye. However, the similarities are also clear.
During the motor show in Moscow in 2014, this hatchback was presented at the stand, and it was in the corporate color scheme. He came to the attention of journalist Sergei Znaemsky:
