"Datsun mi-do" is a Japanese-Russian hatchback,which is serially produced in 2014. For the first time this car was presented to the public at the Moscow International Auto Show. The car is produced in Russia. The manufacturer does not hide that the platform of the second generation "Kalina" was taken as a basis. In today's article, we'll look at all the features of the Datsun mi-DO car. Reviews, photos, technical specifications and other useful information - later in this article.
Design
Externally, the car strongly resembles the VAZ"Kalina". Here are the same "evil" lights, an aggressive look and a relief hood. The only thing that has been changed is the bumper. He received a wide grille with a pronounced chrome edging. In the middle of the grille is a huge Datsun emblem. And the shape of the bumper has changed a bit. As for the lateral line, there are the same shapes and proportions. Even the architecture of mirrors remained the same.
Despite the plagiarism, the exterior of the car deservesattention. Reviews say that the car will suit not only the female but also the male half. Here there are no details that clearly indicate belonging to some gender. This car is universal. Especially spectacular is the "Datsun" in a bright orange color. The hatchback can stand out from the stream without any tuning. And this is a big plus for Datsun mi-DO.
Reviews note the special shape and design of the rearlanterns. They are extended upwards and do not have yellow turn signals. Most of the lanterns are made in white. The trunk lid has nice lines. On the rear window there is an additional stop light and a compact wiper. The upper part of the roof has a small ledge at the end. It looks like a small spoiler. At the bottom of the bumper there are two cutouts. One - under the pipe of the silencer, and the second - under the towing hook. I would like more stubs in Datsun mi-DO. The owners' comments say that this hook can be successfully hidden under a plastic cover. But alas, this is not even in the maximum configuration. The same goes for the silencer in the Datsun mi-DO hatchback. The owners' comments on this matter are negative. Chromed nozzles have to be bought separately. A simple pipe, which in addition quickly becomes rusty, does not look very presentable. Versions with parktronic are also not devoid of shortcomings. So, the manufacturer does not paint the sensors in the color of the body. In the bumper, these obsessive black dots remain.
Dimensions and clearance
As for the size of the Datsun mi-DO, reviewsnote that the machine is fairly compact. The length of the five-door hatchback is 3.95 meters, width - 1.7 meters, height - exactly 1.5 meters. At the same time the machine is not devoid of clearance. In standard equipment, the ground clearance is as much as 17.5 centimeters. This indicator is comparable with "Lada Largus Cross". The car easily overcomes the pits and confidently feels on all the irregularities. Very well goes and on a primer Datsun mi-DO. The opinions of many owners say that this car can safely go to the woods for rest, hammering the trunk to the point of failure. The clearance is big enough.
Salon
Interior design is no different from a sedan"He-do". Also there are elements of "Kalina" (for example, round air ducts on the sides). The handlebars are three-spoke, with silver inserts and a corporate logo. On the central console - the climate control unit and radio cassette recorder. By the way, the latter in top-end packages is a touch multimedia center. At the bottom there are two cupholders. From the passenger side - a capacious glove box. Above there is a cutout for the airbag. Mirrors have an electric drive (as well as glass).
Is it qualitatively assembled inside Datsun mi-DO 1.6 AT? Reviews say that the plating and plastic materials are very cheap. In the complete sets it is impossible to choose the color scale of the interior. And the black interior looks very meager and depressing. The driver's seat has a flat lateral support. There is not much free space in the cabin. As they say reviews about Datsun mi-DO 1.6 AT, this is a purely urban machine. For long distances it is very difficult to drive. The driver is very tired on the trip. The second row of seats has folding backrests. It will be difficult for an adult passenger to fit here.
Places behind are sorely lacking.As for the volume of the trunk, it is 260 liters. Reviews say that for the transportation of large items, it will not work, even despite the folding back. The fact is that Datsun Mi-Do has a high loading line. Also, the protruding wheel arches are strongly concealed. Yes, and the back itself is in the proportion of 60:40. Therefore, you will not be able to get an equal sex. The only thing that pleases is the presence of a full-size spare wheel under the floor, and not a "crutch" in the form of a dock.
Specifications
Reviews allow us to conclude that car ownerscomplain about the lack of choice of power plants. For the Japanese-Russian hatchback, only one gasoline unit is available. This eight-valve engine, which was previously installed on the "Kalina". With its volume of 1.6 liters, it produces 87 horsepower of power. The torque at four thousand is 140 Nm. Despite the use of the old timing system (two valves per cylinder instead of four, as now), the engine complies with Euro-4 standards.
Transmission
Depending on the configuration, the car is equipped with a manual transmission on 5 steps or a 4-mode automatic. The latter was developed by Jatco.
Dynamics, consumption
Наиболее быстрый - Datsun mi-DO 1.6 MT.Reviews say that with the mechanics of dispersal to a hundred takes 12.2 seconds. At the machine with the same motor the acceleration is two seconds later. As for the maximum speed, it is almost the same.
According to the passport data, it is 161 and 168kilometers per hour for automatic and mechanical boxes, respectively. In terms of fuel consumption, again, mechanics wins. For a hundred in the city cycle (this is the main mode of operation of such a car), the machine spends 8 liters of gasoline. On the machine this figure is 8.7 liters.

Because it is a city car, traffic jams will be much easier.
