Datsun does not build many cars like the Datsun on-Do: a 4-door saloon with 1.6 L VAZ-11186 I4, built from 2014 to 2020 as electrification stopped being an experiment and the crossover took every market.
Where it came from
The Datsun on-Do is a subcompact car manufactured specifically for the Russian market under the Datsun brand of Nissan Motor Company. It is a rebadged and restyled version of the AutoVAZ-developed Lada Granta and it also has its own VAZ-index number, 2195. The on-Do was launched in Russia on 4 April 2014, and AutoVAZ started serial manufacturing of the car on 14 July 2014. The word "Do" is related to a Japanese traditional culture that can be translated into "move", while "on" indicates an adjective or verb.
Under the skin
Under the skin sits 1.6 L VAZ-11186 I4. Kerb weight is 1160 kg. The gearbox is a 5-speed manual / 4-speed automatic. The layout matters: the engine drives the front wheels, the packaging choice that gives a small car a big cabin. The wheelbase is 2476 mm. These are manufacturer figures carried by Wikipedia and Wikidata, not road-test measurements.
In context
Where it sits in Datsun's history is not in doubt: it was built at Tolyatti (AvtoVAZ), Russia. On a showroom list of its day it stood against the Ferrari 488, the Ford Escort, the Infiniti Q50. Nearby in the Datsun catalogue sit the 280Zx and the 310.
