At the heart of the redi-GO is a 799cc petrol motor which also powers the Kwid. The engine produces 53.6bhp @ 5678rpm and 72Nm of torque at 4386rpm. The redi-GO is almost 25kgs lighter than the Kwid and returns an average of 25.17kmpl. The overall length of the car stands at 3429mm while the width is 1560mm and the height stands at 1541mm. The redi-GO actually has a very deceptive look and does not look too small. This is probably thanks to a high ground clearance of 185mm which is more than the S-Cross and the Creta!
The suspension setup on the Datsun redi-GO is a Mac Pherson Strut with a lower transverse link in the front and a Twist Beam with coil spring in the rear. The suspension has been tuned to be on the stiffer side making the ride over bumps on the road a bit more bearable. The brakes on the redi-GO have been facilitated by discs in the front and drum brakes in the rear.
The boot space on the redi-GO stands at the 220L mark, it is smaller when compared to some of the other contenders. This vehicle can seat 5 adults people. On the features front this vehicle is quite bare. The redi-GO has an airbag, a manually adjustable air conditioner, an audio system with USB and AUX inputs, a 12 volt power socket and plenty of cubby holes. The dash has been designed smartly and has suave looking interiors to go with the overall design theme of this car. The build quality and plastics used are quite exceptional and boasts of Datsun's engineering prowess. The accessories and functional buttons/ knobs have also been laid out in an ergonomically optimised manner and everything is quite easily accessible.
