Datsun redi-GO 1.0 Test Drive Review
The redi-GO is a value-for-money product but has tough rivals to crack
Verdict – The redi-GO 1.0-litre overcomes the biggest drawback of the 800cc car and that is performance. Though, Datsun has been late to the party as its step-sibling, the Renault Kwid, has been available with the same engine since nearly a year. However, with the segment best interior space, high ground clearance and now with the additional power, Datsun will be hoping that this 1.0-litre engined car can bring them more numbers which the 800cc model hasn’t been able to do.
The addition of the 1.0-litre engine will give a good boost in sales
What’s Cool
* The design of the redi-GO is pleasant
* Interiors are neat and functional
* The updated engine comes with added punch
What’s Not So Cool
* No ABS on offer on any variant
* After-sales network not as good as rivals
Alternatives: Tata Nano, Hyundai Eon, Maruti Alto, Renault Kwid
Will the redi-GO 1.0 affect sales of the Kwid and Alto?
