Launched in the month of June 2016, the Datsun redi GO has been receiving phenomenal response from buyers across the country. The company claims to have sold three thousand units of the vehicle within just twenty three days of its launch. Total bookings for the vehicle have now crossed Ten,000 units. Available in a total of five variants, Datsun’s puny car was flipped out at a jaw-dropping price of Rs Two.38 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi).
Referred as the country’s very first ‘Urban Cross’, the Datsun redi-GO is based on the CMF-A platform which is the same that underpins the Renault Kwid. Despite sharing the platform with the Kwid, the rediGO is 25kg lighter than the former which also help in improving its spectacle.
Power for both the Datsun redi GO and Renault Kwid comes from the same 0.8-litre petrol mill that has been developed by Renault-Nissan Alliance. The alliance is also working on a fresh 1000cc petrol engine that might debut with the Kwid AMT later this year.
Everything about the car in ten quick points –
1. Datsun redi GO Price in India
Thanks to its aggressive pricing, the redi GO has undercut all of its competitors including Maruti Alto 800, Renault Kwid and Hyundai Eon. As a matter of fact, Datsun’s fresh puny car is just Ten,000 pricier than the Tata Nano, which is India’s most affordable car.
Two. Datsun redi GO Specifications
The redi-GO’s 799cc, 3-cylinder petrol engine develops power worth 53.2bhp at Five,678rpm against a peak torque of 72Nm at Four,386rpm. Transmitting power to the front wheels of the car is a 5-speed manual gearbox.
At a later stage, Datsun might also introduce an AMT (automated manual transmission) gearbox-equipped version of the redi-GO. If reports are to be trusted, the Datsun rediGO might also get the same 1000cc engine which will be introduced on the Kwid later this year. This engine will be good enough for 65bhp.
Trio. Datsun redi GO Mileage
Thanks to its light weight and smaller engine, the Datsun redi GO comebacks an amazing mileage of 25.17kmpl (ARAI-certified). With this, Datsun’s fresh puny car matches the fuel efficiency figures of the Renault Kwid. In other words, Renault Kwid will now have to share the title of being the ‘most fuel-efficient car in the category’ with its cousin redi-GO.
