The Redi-Go from Datsun has caught the fancy of many car lovers in the country. The promising hatchback might be launched in India sometime around mid-April this year. Datsun’s current lot, the Go hatchback and Go+ sub 4-metre MPV failed to evoke good response in the Indian market, but the upcoming Redi-Go is expected to help the brand gain a good footing in the Indian market.
The Datsun Redi-Go shares the CMF-A platform with Renault’s Kwid. It is believed that the new product might be powered by the Kwid’s 800cc petrol engine that generates 53bhp of power. Reports have indicated that the vehicle might also get a 1.2-litre petrol engine. The engine will come mated to a five-speed manual transmission.
On the design aspect, the Datsun Redi-Go will wear Datsun’s traditional hexagonal mesh grille that will be complemented by sporty headlamps. To add to its sporty appeal, the upcoming hatchback will also get flared wheel arches and sporty tail-lamps. As for safety, the hatchback will get optional driver side airbags.
More details on the interiors is not known for now, it is expected that the vehicle might get basic functions that will position it as a potential competitor against Hyundai’s Eon and Maruti’s Alto in India. The company has not officially revealed the prices yet, based on anticipation, we expect that the vehicle might carry a starting price of Rs 3.0 lakh. More details will be revealed in the coming days.
