Datsun redi-GO
Datsun is currently working on the
redi-GO hatchback, which was spotted testing in Chennai in a production-ready
state. Based on spyshots, IAB’s rendering artist, Shoeb R Kalania has created a
digital render of the Maruti Alto 800-rival.
Drawing inspiration from the concept
Datsun redi-GO unveiled at the Auto Expo 2014, the production-spec model will
adopt a crossover-esque design, along the lines of its close cousin, the
Renault Kwid. It will feature the characteristic hexagonal grille flanked by a
large pair of swept back headlamps, high ground clearance, and steel rims with
full-wheel caps.
The redi-GO will be the second product
in India to ride on the highly localized CMF-A platform, first being the Kwid.
It is also expected to feature a frugal petrol engine with power and torque in
the whereabouts of 50 PS and 70 Nm. A 5-speed manual gearbox will be the only
transmission option, at least initially.
Given Datsun’s budget and entry-level
brand image, the redi-GO is likely to slot below the Renault Kwid, and would be
priced even lower than the Kwid’s INR 2,59,968 starting
price tag.
