A car at a
low price with a great mileage, even though with a manual transmission, is
worth as the cost of Petrol is continuously rising. Even in the month of May,
price of Petrol was enhanced twice, significantly. It dents into the pocket of
every one except those who have plenty of money.
The new
entrant into the market is the Redi – Go from Datsun, Nissan. Though the official
price announcement of the redi-Go has been scheduled on June 7, the Datsun
India redi-Go is likely to be priced at Rs. 2,39,500 for the base variant which
is more likely to shake the segment with the most competitive pricing. The
price seems most competitive and attractive for the first time entrants into
the four wheeler segment as it is suited to almost every budget.
The car is
based on the CMF-A platform developed by Renault and Nissan. This is the same
platform that also underpins Renault Kwid. Both the cars also share identical
powertrain with same specifications.
The redi-Go
is powered by a 799cc three-cylinder petrol motor that churns out 53bhp and a
peak torque of 72Nm, mated to a five-speed manual gearbox. Both the cars will
return a claimed fuel efficiency of 25.17kmpl. A mileage of 25.17 kmpl looks
quite attractive as it’s pocket friendly for the entire middle class range of
people, who want to shift from a two wheeler.
The new
Datsun car will run on 13-inch wheels and will also come with an audio system
that has radio, CD, MP3, USB and aux-in connectivity. These features again
generate attraction amongst the new entrants as they can have all kinds of
music, while on the redi-Go.
The redi-Go
measures 3,429mm in length, 1,560mm in width and 1,541mm in height. With a
tallboy stance, the redi-Go comes with a ground clearance of 185mm which is 5mm
higher than the Renault Kwid. It’s tallboy stance also seems quite attractive
as it gives a great feeling.
Another
attraction of the redi-Go is it’s colours. The car will be sold in five colours
— ruby red, white, silver, lime green, and grey. The redi-Go will be pitted
against Maruti Alto 800, Hyundai Eon and Renault Kwid in India
This car can
attract the first time entrants into the car segment due to it’s Lowest price
in the market, with it’s great mileage, with it’s tall boy stance, it’s
beautiful colours as well it’s music system. With a unique design, best in
class performance and fairly comfortable seats, the Datsun redi-Go surely is
the strongest contender in this highly competitive budget hatchback segment I
am very much sure that it will soon become the heart throb of millions.
