Discontinued Datsun Car Models

Launched after a 30 years hiatus in 2012, the Datsun brand has been resurrected by the parent company. Datsun is among the most popular car brands with original production dating back to 1930s when the automobile company first started. Between the uber-successful periods of 1958 to 1986, excellent car models were launched in the form of 510 sedans, 240Z and Fairlady coupes. Datsun’s story started long before the 1950s. Initially, Kaishinsha Motorcar Company produced trucks due to the low demands for their car models which were released under the name ‘Dat’. Success arrived when it collaborated with Jitsuyo Jidosha, and together they started making 500cc cars wherein the ‘Dat’ became ‘Datsun’.

Coming back to the current market, New Datsun car models have been instrumental in uplifting the image of the manufacturer in the Indian market. With entry-level cars, Go and Go+, Datsun’s attempt at making a name for itself has been successful. However, Datsun cars in India face stiff competition from market leaders in Maruti Suzuki, Hyundai and Honda.
