Datsun redi Go 1.0 AMT Launch in India

The new AMT variants of the Redi Go 1.0 will launch in the first quarter of next year. We are expecting a launch in late-Feb, soon after a debut at the Auto Expo 2018.

Datsun redi Go 1.0 AMT Price in India

The AMT model, much like other 1000cc variants, will be available only in the high-end S and T(O) trims. Compared to its 1000cc sibling, the new car will likely command a price premium of around ₹ 50,000. Hence, prices of the AMT variant, upon launch, could start at roughly ₹ 4 lakh.

Soon, the Redi Go will become the third such product, after the Alto and Kwid, to offer an AMT with a 1.0-litre engine. The Redi Go 1.0 also rivals the Eon. However, with a high cabin space and a really stylish exterior, the AMT model should enjoy an edge over most its competition. Soon, the stylish hatchback will retail in 3 avatars – 0.8 Litre, 1.0 Litre and 1.0 Litre with AMT.

Datsun redi GO 1.0 AMT Specifications

There won’t be any change in the engine. It will continue to be the same 1.0-litre engine that comes with the manual transmission models. The Redi Go commenced its Indian innings with a 799cc, 3-cylinder, petrol engine that has a max. power of 53 BHP and a peak torque of 72 Nm. On the other hand, the 1.0-litre engine outputs 67 BHP and 91 Nm.The RediGo 1.0 is built on the CMF-A architecture from the Renault Nissan group. The new AMT model won’t get any changes for its suspension.

Datsun redi GO 1.0 AMT Mileage

The new rediGO 1.0 is pretty high on the fuel mileage front. With an ARAI-tested mileage of 22.5 KMPL, the new model is only 0.2 KMPL less fuel efficient than its 0.8-litre sibling. We expect the AMT model to have the same mileage figure.

Datsun redi Go 1.0 AMT Features

This Datsun is a budget-end offering. Hence, one can never expect it to come with a host of features to enhance comfort and convenience. That said, the new 1.0 AMT model will come in the top-of-the-line S and T(O) trims, which means it will get you at least a handful of features. Here’s a list of all the available features on the fully-loaded version. It’s noteworthy here that the audio system being offered is a rather basic unit. There’s no smartphone integration or a touchscreen interface.

• Black Interior
• Driver’s side Airbag
• Digital Tachometer
• Engine immobilizer
• Central Locking
• Aircon
• Music System with AUX and USB
• Chrome Grille

Datsun rediGo 1.0 AMT Dimensions

As you must have guessed by now, there’s absolutely no change in the dimensions. The rediGo isn’t too big on the outside, but thanks to its clever design, there’s enough space on the inside. Another highlight of this car is its really high ground clearance of 185 mm. To put things in perspective, the Hyundai Creta has a ground clearance of 180 mm.

Datsun rediGo 1.0 AMT Review Exterior Design

Except for AMT badge, there won’t be any difference in the way the two transmission variants of the rediGo 1.0 would look. We’re sure that this will be done in the interest of a competitive price tag. A new design for the wheelcaps and some decals should be welcome though.

The rediGo looks a lot like the rediGO concept that was showcased some years ago. Talking about this concept, Shiro Nakamura, SVP and Chief Creative Officer and the designer of the new GT-R, said,”Although Datsun redi-GO Concept is just that – a concept – it shows clearly the way we are thinking. It’s an ambitious styling exploration but, being a Datsun, it is a logical design, too.” And indeed, the rediGo has turned out to be a really logical design. It’s modern and distinctive, but clean and robust. Basically, this car provides a good amalgam of practicality of a small hatchback along with the rugged stance of a crossover. Highlights of this car’s design include short overhangs, crossover-ish stance and the strong twin character lines running along the side profile. The stylish headlamps along with the funky Daytime Running Lights (DRLs) add a touch of sophistication.

Datsun redi Go 1.0 AMT Interior Design Review

While the exterior of the Datsun redi Go 1.0 impresses with its design, the interior is pretty utilitarian. Again, there’s hardly any change in the way the new variant looks on the inside. However, the interior panels get an all-black theme to make things slightly more exciting. Also, the aircon vents now come with faux silver highlights. There’s also a slightly fancy speedo console with a digital tachometer. And let’s not forget about the acres of space this entry-level hatchback has on offer. Seating 4 full grown adults in considerable comfort is not an issue with this car. There’s also a decent boot space of 222-litres. Other than this, the new model gets optional black-red seat covers to make the interior slightly more interesting. Also, we do like the gloss trim on the centre console. The AMT models will of course get a different gear lever.

We will publish the Datsun Redi Go 1.0 AMT Price list on  the launch date of the new car. Till then stay tuned for latest news updates on the new AMT version of this hatchback.
