Datsun Redi-GO 1.0L: Bookings open, deliveries from July 26

Datsun India has announced the commencement of pre-bookings of the Redi-GO 1.0L variants. Interested customers can book the car at all Nissan and Datsun dealerships across the country by paying a fully refundable token amount of Rs. 10,000. Deliveries of the Redi-GO 1.0L will start from July 26, 2017.

The Redi-GO 1.0L will share its overall design with its smaller 800 cc sibling, which was launched in India in June 2016. The 1.0L variant will be available in two trim levels: S and T (O). It will come with features like LED DRLs, keyless entry and all-black interiors.

Powering the Redi-GO 1.0L will be a 1.0-litre, three-cylinder engine that will churn out 67 BHP @ 5,500 rpm and 91 Nm of torque @ 4,250 rpm. A 5-speed manual gearbox will handle the transmission duties. The ARAI-certified fuel economy figure of the Redi-GO 1.0L is 22.5 km/l. Datsun is calling the technology used in the engine as iSAT, which stands for Intelligent Spark Automated Technology. This is claimed to adjust spark timing automatically, as per the fuel quality and power requirement.

The Redi-GO 1.0L will be competing against its brand-reengineered sibling - the Renault Kwid 1.0, along with the Maruti Alto K10 and Hyundai Eon 1.0.
