Datsun’s entry level car now gets the option of an automatic and we get behind the wheel to see how good it is
WE KNEW THIS WAS AROUND the corner. The Datsun Redi-Go is based on the same platform as the Renault Kwid and gets the same drivetrain. So when Renault announced the Kwid AMT, it was only a matter of time before the Redi-Go followed suit. The biggest change from the manual? The gearbox, duh. This variant swaps out the manual transmission for a five-speed automated manual transmission — the same unit used in the Kwid. But unlike the Kwid which gets a knob on the dash, this gets a more traditional lever sticking out of the floor. Also, this gets the option of manual override, something that the Kwid misses out on because of the rotary controller. Now instead of a tachometer, the tiny digital display nestled in the Redi-Go’s instrument cluster has a gear position indicator in its place. The only other change includes the addition of Bluetooth connectivity to the entertainment system.
