3 Reasons Daihatsu Sigra Ready for Challenging Datsun GO + Panca

No longer the market Low Cost Green Car (LCGC) will be the arrival of two new challengers from the duo Astra Daihatsu and Toyota Calya Sigra. Yes, both cars 'economical' a collaboration between the 4th with the concept of Low MPV body style and is able to accommodate up to 7-passenger. But interestingly, the product of Daihatsu is predicted to have a greater tendency to devour rival who was enjoying a state of 'comfort zone'.

The reason, of five LCGC models that exist in Indonesia, which has the only Datsun passenger car configuration with 5 + 2, so the view from its present position, Sigra, clearly will be threatened. Starting from the dimensions, the machine until the transmission variants.

Starting from the dimensions of the body. LCGC Daihatsu, according to the spec that is circulating in cyberspace, has a length of 4,070 mm, width 1,655 mm, height 1,600 mm and a wheelbase of 2,525 mm so far. With these figures, it is clear to carry a passenger cabin space available is more spacious than the GO + Panca. Musababnya, Datsun mainstay models is only equipped with a body that is 75 mm shorter, more compact 20 mm, 110 mm lower roof and the distance between the wheels adrift 75 mm than Sigra. Thus, it is not wrong if it thinks Daihatsu, Sigra as a car capable of carrying 7-passenger.

Then, the mechanical parts behind the bonnet. PT Astra Daihatsu Motor (ADM) to prepare Sigra with two options namely engine collection 1 KR-VE DOHC, VVT-i with a capacity of 1.0L, 3-cylinder engine capable of producing power 67 PS and 87 Nm torque catapult and a second power depot, coded 3 NR-VE DOHC Dual VVT-i powered 1.2L, 4-cylinder. Performance, presents a maximum power of 88 PS and delivers a torque of 105 Nm. Well, from this second engine, when paired together with the power plant 1.2L 3-cylinder HR12DE default GO + Panca, then the figure is still better. Because the performance is only giving 68 PS power and 104 Nm of torque.

Another aspect that is also important is the pattern of power distribution. This is a gap of Datsun used by Daihatsu. The reason is, until they reached the age of 2 years doing business in the country, GO + Panca not equipped with an automatic transmission, only a 5-speed manual. However, on the other hand, Sigra has been prepared with an automatic version of the model line lever attached to the center of the dashboard.
