To benefit from the surge in car sales during this
year's festive season, Datsun India recently introduced a special version of
the redi-GO hatchback. Dubbed simply as the Datsun redi-GO Limited Edition, the
limited-run model carries a host of cosmetic updates for its exterior and
interior.
The Datsun redi-GO Limited Edition is available with
both 0.8-litre and 1.0-litre engine options. Updates for the exterior include a
contrast paint shade option for the roof and red and black body decals. The
black-painted wheel caps get a streak of red paint. The grille has a dash of
red, too. The interior receives dual-tone red-and-black leather upholstery, and
chrome door handles. Rear parking sensors are standard.
The Datsun redi-GO Limited Edition has been priced
at Rs 3.58 lakh* for the 0.8-litre variant and Rs 3.85 lakh* for the 1.0-litre
version. The Datsun redi-GO Limited Edition stays mechanically unchanged. It
measures 3,429 mm in length, 1,560 mm in width, and 1,541 mm in height. The
small car has a wheelbase of 2,348 mm and a boot space of 222 litres. The
ground clearance is at 185 mm. The 1.0-litre engine variant produces a maximum
power of 68 PS at 5,500 rpm and a peak torque of 91 Nm at 4,250 rpm. It comes
mated to a 5-speed manual transmission. Its ARAI-certified fuel efficiency
stands at 22.5 km/l. The 0.8-litre version offers a maximum power of 54 PS at
5,678 rpm and a peak torque of 72 Nm at 4,386 rpm.
Datsun India is currently readying the facelifted
versions of the GO and the GO+ for the Indian market. With an average monthly
sales figure of 2,026 units (March 2018 - August 2018), the redi-GO is far from
registering the best-in-segment sales performance. The recently launched
Limited Edition should help the carmaker find more buyers for its entry-level
hatchback during this year's festive season.
