Production rediGo looks very close to the concept and if priced well can send shivers to specially the Eon…
Datsun today unveiled their third car for India, the production version of rediGo. Based on the CMF-A platform (same as that of the Kwid), rediGo aims to mix the drivability of a hatchback with the ruggedness of a crossover. Yes, Datsun calls it ‘the Urban Cross’! The car looks to have decent features considering the segment it is targeting . Bookings will begin next month in May and deliveries will commence from June.
Powering the rediGo is a three pot, fuel efficient 0.8 litre mill, the same unit powering Kwid. While specifications have not been revealed, we expect the figures to be very close to the Renault sibling. On Kwid, this engine produces 54 PS of power, 72 Nm of torque and returns a fuel efficiency of 25.17 kmpl. The transmission system comprises of a 5 speed manual unit.
Retaining the design style of the concept model showcased back in 2014, rediGo continues with the growing cross hatch style cars that we have seen of late. The Japanese call this bold design philosophy as ‘Yukan’.
“The Datsun redi-GO, as a tangible expression of this commitment, offers several best-in-class capabilities. It is created to bring fun, free and confident thinking to the otherwise traditional compact hatchback segment.”
