The Datsun brand dates back to the earliest days of Japanese car building. Over the decades Datsun has evolved to become an automaker synonymous for durable, attractive and trustworthy and most importantly affordable cars.

Over 50 years Datsun has sold more than 20 million vehicles in 190 countries and is a brand supported and loved by many worldwide. This is the spirit the new Datsun brings to young risers.

Datsun originated in Japan as DAT-GO (the DAT-car) almost a century ago in 1914.

The word DAT means ‘lightning-fast’ in Japanese but is also a reference to the three financiers who supported the business at the time – namely Mssrs. Den, Aoyama and Takeuchi – an acronym of the first letter of each name. Using the same logic, it was promoted as Durable, Attractive and Trustworthy, or DAT for short.!

In 1933, Nissan’s founding father Yoshisuke Aikawa took over the business with a vision of “mobility for all”. The introduction of a light-weight, economical yet resilient car to meet the aspirations of young Japanese people in the early 1930s was named the ‘son of DAT’ – Datson – which later changed to Datsun. Local engineering and mass-production made the founder’s dream a reality.!
