Datsun Redi-GO to launch on June 7, 2016

Datsun Redi-GO will make its official entry into the Indian car market on June 7, 2016. The Redi-GO was unveiled in its production-avatar in mid-April. Now, Datsun will finally reveal prices of the Redi-GO hatchback on June 7. It will be placed in the entry-level hatchback segment, and thus the prices range would be Rs 2.5 lakh to Rs 3.5 lakh.

The Redi-GO hatchback is built on the same CMF-A platform that underpins the Renault Kwid. It is also powered by the same 799 cc, three-cylinder petrol engine, which was jointly developed by Renault and Nissan. This engine is capable of generating 56.2 BHP and a peak torque of 72 Nm. It is coupled to a 5-speed manual gearbox. The company claims that the car offers a fuel economy of 25.17 kmpl.

The Redi-GO is Datsun's third product in the Indian market. Both Go and Go+ were not able to make a mark in their respective segments. Thus, the Redi-GO must be aggressively priced to significantly boost the company’s sales figures. Once launched, the Datsun Redi-GO will compete against Maruti Suzuki Alto 800, Hyundai Eon, and Renault Kwid.
