The Datsun Redi-Go is all set to be unveiled on the world stage in a couple of days from now. Building up the hype, the company has released two teaser sketches of the car today.
Datsun Redi-Go teaser
The Datsun Redi-Go concept was shown at the 2014 Delhi Auto Expo and will be a sibling of the Renault Kwid and will be the entry level car into the Datsun family. Reports suggest that the car will be powered by the same 800 cc engine currently doing duty on the Renault Kwid. The 800cc three-cylinder petrol engine produces 53 bhp and 72 Nm of torque and comes paired to a 5-speed manual transmission.
The teaser images hardly have any notable difference when compared to the concept which was shown previously. The Redi-Go will share a lot of parts with its cousin along with the CMF-A architecture which it is based on. The much-loved SUVish styling in the Indian market will be seen on the Redi-Go. The car has very short overhangs and the bumper looks to be integrated very nicely into the bumper. The edgy lines flowing along the side make it look uber cool. The rear has a high back and the logo sits comfortably in the middle splitting the rear window and the metal. The wheel arches have a massive bulge and could see some skinny tires in a relatively large wheel well.

The car will compete against the Maruti Suzuki Alto 800, Tata Nano, Hyundai Eon and the Renault Kwid. It will be interesting to see if this car is priced on par with the rock bottom prices of the Kwid or even below it. With Renault going in for over 98% localization, and the scale of economies to help, it will be really tough to beat those prices. We will be covering the event live on 14th of April. Stay tuned for live update.
