Under the hood, the Datsun Cross will reportedly have the HR12DE 1.2-litre petrol engine. In the Datsun GO and Datsun GO+, this three-cylinder mill develops 68 PS at 5,000 rpm and 104 Nm of torque at 4,000 rpm. Basic configurations may have a 5-speed manual transmission instead of a continuously variable transmission.
