Datsun has launched an automated manual transmission (AMT) version of the Redi-GO. The Redi-GO 1.0L Smart Drive Auto (AMT) is now on sale at an introductory price of Rs. 3,80,600 (ex-showroom). 

The Redi-GO AMT comes in two variants - T(O) and S. In terms of its proportions, the car is identical to the standard Redi-GO. It measures 3,429 mm in length, 1,560 mm in width and 1,541 mm in height. The wheelbase is 2,348 mm and it has a ground clearance of 185 mm (unladen). The Redi-GO AMT has a 222-litre boot.

The Redi-GO AMT gets a chrome grille with sweptback headlamps, while LED DRLs are offered on the S trim. It has body coloured door handles and blacked-out B-pillars and ORVMs. The Redi-GO AMT comes with black interiors. It has a three-spoke steering wheel and a single-pod instrument cluster. The centre console is finished in piano black trim while there is silver trim on the gear lever, air-conditioning vents and the steering wheel. Unlike the standard Redi-GO, the new AMT version gets silver finished interior door handles.

The 5-speed AMT is only available with the 1.0-litre version of the Redi-GO. The 1.0-litre, 3-cylinder petrol engine produces 67 BHP @ 5,500 rpm and 91 Nm of peak torque @ 4,250 rpm.
