Datsun Redi-GO 1.0L AMT Bookings Open — Launch Soon

Datsun India launched the redi-GO in the Indian market in 2016 with an 800cc engine. And it was followed by a 1-litre variant with a manual gearbox in 2017. Now, the company is gearing up for the launch of the redi-GO AMT in the country, which will give more options to the Indian car buyers.

The Datsun redi-GO is based on the CMF-A platform and shares engine and components with the Renault Kwid. The hatchback retails at a lower price tag than the Kwid and features funky and sporty styling. To know more about the redi-GO 1.0L, you can also read our first drive review of the car.

The AMT variant of the Datsun redi-GO will draw power from the existing 1-litre Intelligent Spark Automated Technology (iSAT), three-cylinder petrol engine producing 67bhp and 91Nm of torque. The engine is coupled to a 5-speed automated transmission. It will be interesting to see if redi-GO AMT will get the rotary knob from the Kwid or a traditional gear stick.

The Datsun redi-GO is a versatile car that combines the roominess, agility and efficiency of a hatchback with the best-in-class ground clearance and high seating position. The redi-GO AMT will join the popular Datsun lineup that includes redi-GO 0.8L, redi-GO Sport, redi-GO 1.0L and redi-GO GOLD.

Managing Director of Nissan India, Jerome Saigot said, "With the new redi-GO AMT, we aim to provide consumers with the convenience of city drive at an accessible price and best in class ground clearance, mileage, head room space, high seating position and attractive design."
