Go, the Nissan Group's entry level car under its Datsun brand, has got a 2-star rating in a crash test conducted by the New Car Assessment Program for Southeast Asian Countries (ASEAN NCAP). 

The Go equipped with one airbag scored 6.82 points for its Adult Occupant Protection (AOP). This makes it eligible for a 2-star rating. Its Child Occupant Protection (COP) also achieved a 2-star rating with 46 percent compliance.

In a previous test by Global NCAP in November 2014, the Go failed to get any star rating for Adult Occupant Protection. For Child Occupant Protection, it had received a 2-star rating. In June this year, Nissan offered a driver's side airbag as an option in India. It is learnt that the car's body shell has also been reinforced.

Two other compact cars – Daihatsu Ayla, Toyota Agya – and the Toyota Hilux pick-up were also part of the latest round of tests by ASEAN NCAP.

The tests were conducted to target Indonesian consumers in conjunction with the ASEAN Automobile Safety Forum 2015/003 jointly organised by ASEAN NCAP with Institut Teknologi Bandung in Bandung, Indonesia.
