Datsun Redi-GO 1.0L AMT pre-bookings open

Back in December 2017, there had been reports that Datsun was planning to launch an automated manual transmission (AMT) variant of the Redi-GO. The company has now announced that pre-bookings for the upcoming Redi-GO 1.0L AMT have officially opened from January 10, 2018.

Customers can pre-book a Datsun Redi-GO 1.0L AMT by paying a token amount of Rs. 10,000 at any Nissan and Datsun dealerships in India. Deliveries are said to commence from January 23, 2018.

The Redi-GO 1.0L AMT will use the same 1.0-litre, 3-cylinder petrol engine that is offered on the T(O) and S variants. This engine produces 67 BHP @ 5,500 rpm and 91 Nm of peak torque @ 4,250 rpm. The engine will be paired with a 5-speed AMT that also does duty in the Renault Kwid AMT.

Datsun hasn't announced the official pricing, however the Redi-GO AMT is expected to be priced at a premium of Rs. 30,000 above the manual version.
