Datsun mi-DO got the cross version

16 July 2018

But so far only in the experiment

Foreign manufacturers are increasingly released cross versions of their cars. One of the pioneer became a line Allroad from Audi. To date all such cars are increasingly began to appear in the budget lines. The hottest new product in the domestic market is Lada Vesta Cross (plus Vesta Cross sedan). Now pseudovadonia modification will appear at the hatchback Datsun mi-DO. However, so far only on pictures.

The novelty was designed as the optimum vehicle for fishermen and hunters. Of course, given the fact that the framework should be one of Datsun cars, because in the General case to this role much better fit some GAZ-66, or at least a real SUV in full regalia.

"Protective" appearance

From the standard Datsun mi-DO are the version differs quite substantially. For car was used in camouflage paint and protective coating of the body that is not afraid of scratches. Also it is easy to see arches, "chandelier" and an extra boot capacity of 330 liters on the roof.

Crossover?

Significant changes in technique were observed: there has not appeared either full drive or other improvements that require significant changes. But the ground clearance of Datsun mi-DO has increased from 174 to 180 mm: for this we used spacers. Vosmiklapanny 1.6-liter engine and five-speed "mechanics" here is standard, however, have a shorter main pair is 4.13:1 instead of the standard of 3.9:1. This should increase torque.

For more reliable coupling with the ground involved Michelin tires Cross Climate dimension 185/65 R15. From the bottom of the engine and transmission protects the aluminum sheet with a thickness of 4.

Thoughtful equipment

Surprisingly, presented Datsun mi-DO was a twin room instead of the back of the sofa and a huge box with drawers. Also, the developers have equipped the pyatidverka with an axe, a shovel, two ropes and even electrical appliances, including a refrigerator and a coffee machine (what Russian does not like to start the morning with coffee on the fishing or hunting?).

Beautiful, but yet with dim prospects

Experimental version of Datsun mi-DO was interesting, but still stupid. First, all of these improvements pull a used domestic SUV, even tacky, but on the go. And he certainly safely take you to fishing spots. Second, the manufacturer has not announced the prospects for cross-version. Perhaps she will appear in the line of Datsun mi-DO, but obviously not in such a rich design.
