As always great job Aakash getting minutest details of the car to us. Its very difficult to get such details in a crowded low light environment. But this car is just bad.

Man!! Nano is much better asthetically built that this redigo. What do these foreign car makers think of us indians? Give a shabby product since the price offered is low? Exterior is good but when we come to the interiors it is right down pathetic. Look at the
the ac vents
the knobs
the music player
the gear knob.
engine bay looks cluttered

Complete rubbish.

Pity those who would buy this crap.

To me it looks like Nano from rear and E20 from front

Well In my previous post I have said the bad things about redigo. But its a car after all and I cannot hate any car. There are few good things that I did see in the car

1. The exterior design is good.
2. 2.5L pricing is very good and will definitely create a ripple in the market.
3. It does has DRL the first in the segment
4. the rear bumper also has neat black body kit type fitting which gives it a good look.

however what they have done is given a car a good exterior treatement however quite a lot of cost cutting on the inside. Will be really surprised if people start lapping this car up. I feel that we should send signals to the foreign OEMs donot offer us products low on standard for a premium.

by the way Aakash are the body panels of metal or fibre glass (like in E20)?

Of-course buddy, they are of metal only. Though the doors feel light, panel gaps are well controlled and paint finish is also very good.

Looks good on the outside, but reminds me of the old Santro and Ford iKon on the interior.
Too dated and cheap looking interior. They should have kept it clean atleast, if they couldn't make it look snazzy.
Seems to have good space though and people preferring Tallboy cars would definitely consider this.
Looks fresh against the bread box WagonR and neater than the Eon. If customized froperly on the interior and offered with good safety features, this could be a success.
However, I wish they plonk the 1.0 petrol motor which is soon to be launched with the Kwid, in this too. A car looking so good could use some more power.
I, for once, would prefer this over the Go or GO+; if I were to choose between the Datsuns.

From the looks of it, I would say it looks okayish from outside and also cabin doesn't looks cramped. The dash for sure is very basic. If I were to choose between redi go and kwid, my fav will be kwid.

Pre-bookings commence from May 1st, 2016

Deliveries to start from June, 2016.

Designed, developed and manufactured locally, Datsun redi-GO is India’s first urban-cross.

Datsun today announced the start of pre-launch bookings for its much-awaited, ‘Datsun redi-GO’ urban-cross, a unique fusion of compact crossover and hatchback. Datsun will begin pre-booking orders for the redi-GO from May 1st. Deliveries of the vehicle to new owners will commence from June 2016.

The Datsun redi-Go will be priced between Rs. 2.5 lakh and 3.5 lakh; the ex-showroom prices and variants will be announced during the launch in June. Customers can pre-book their Datsun redi-GO with a fully refundable down payment of INR 5,000 at Nissan dealerships across India. Currently, the company has 217 outlets covering 165 cities, with plans to establish 300 sales and service outlets by the end of March 2017.

Prospective customers can also book the Datsun redi-GO online through Snapdeal.com, India’s leading ecommerce platform.

Making the announcement, Arun Malhotra, Managing Director, Nissan Motor India Pvt. Ltd., said, "Created specifically for India and manufactured here, we are confident the Datsun redi-GO will delight our customers. It’s this country’s first urban-cross vehicle, and a testament to our commitment to bring our best to India.

The Datsun redi-GO is powered by an all-new 0.8L three-cylinder fuel efficient engine paired with a five-speed manual transmission. The vehicle combines the style, roominess, high seating position, best in class ground clearance (185mm) and sheer joy of riding in a crossover blended with the zippy driving, agility and great fuel economy of a compact hatchback. Living up to its name, the Datsun redi-GO is a lively, all-action car that’s ready to go wherever drivers wish to venture.

Datsun launched an innovative ‘Datsun India App’ to keep customers updated on the latest news about the Datsun redi-GO. The customers will also have an option to book the car from this App. The Datsun India App can be downloaded from Google Play store.
