The redi-GO is based on the same platform CMF-A platform as its Renault cousin, the Kwid. But it has an upright stance and a bold look than the latter. The signature trapezoidal grille with the Datsun logo in the middle, stretched out headlamps, muscular bonnet, and very distinct side and rear profiles are some of its standout features. Though, it remains to be powered by the same 800cc mill, good for 54PS and 72Nm, which does duties on the Kwid. Even the five-speed manual gearbox has been carried forward.
