Highlights

  • The Datsun redi-GO 1-litre variant will be launched on July 26, 2017
  • The Datsun redi-GO 1.0 and Renault Kwid 1.0 get the same engine
  • The Kwid 1.0 and Alto K10 get an AMT option, the redi-GO 1.0 doesn't

The long-awaited Datsun redi-GO 1.0L will finally go on sale in India today. Datsun India took its own sweet time to launch the new redi-GO 1000cc (1.0 litre) model and now the car is ready to compete with the likes of Renault Kwid 1.0L and the Maruti Suzuki Alto K10. Now, we have already shared our first drive review of the car and have told to everything that we know about the Datsun redi-GO 1.0L and its rivals. In fact, we have also told you where the upcoming redi-GO 1.0L stands in comparison to both the Kwid 1.0L and the Alto K10, on paper. All details about the car are already up on Datsun India's official website, except for the price, which we will come to know soon. We have been bringing you all the live updates form the launch here.

In our opinion, Datsun India will price of the more powerful redi-GO 1.0L quite aggressively, in the range of Rs. 3.8 lakh to 4 lakh. One of the main reasons for keeping the price aggressive is because despite being the newest among its peers, the redi-GO misses out on a number of features. For instance, both the Renault Kwid 1.0L and the Maruti Alto K10 offer an optional AMT variant, whereas the redi-GO 1.0L only has the 5-speed manual gearbox on offer. Also, its French cousin Kwid is a bit more feature rich and comes with a touchscreen MediaNAV system, while the redi-GO gets a basic audio system with just AUX-IN and Bluetooth connectivity. Whereas the Alto K10 comes with a more spacious cabin and gets a CNG option as well

We expect the Datsun redi-GO 1.0L to be priced aggressively

In retrospect, Datsun will only offer two variants of the redi-GO 1.0L and a large number of features are similar in both the models. On the other hand, both the Kwid 1.0L and the Alto K10 come in multiple variants and it is the top-end variants that actually compete with the redi-GO when we consider the feature offerings. So, this includes the top-end Kwid RXT 1.0 manual is priced at Rs. 3.82 lakh going up to Rs. 4.25 for the RXT 1.0L AMT variant. Similarly, the Alto K10's higher trims - VXI and VXI AMT is priced in the range of Rs. 3.63 lakh and Rs. 4.15 lakh (all ex-showroom, Delhi).

Powering the new Datsun redi-GO 1.0L is the same 999 cc three-cylinder, petrol engine that does duty on the Kwid 1.0L. The 1-litre motor makes 67 bhp and develops 91 Nm of peak torque, while mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox. Booking for the car is also underway.
