Datsun has officially started accepting bookings for the redi-GO 1.0L AMT variant. Customers can book one by making a payment of Rs 10,000 at all Nissan and Datsun showrooms across India.
The deliveries of the redi-GO 1.0L AMT will begin from January 23. Datsun is likely to price the redi-GO 1.0-litre AMT at a premium of Rs 35,000 to 40,000 over the corresponding manual variants.
Currently, the Datsun redi-GO AMT with the 5-speed manual gearbox is priced at Rs 2.41 lakh to Rs 3.75 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi) for the top-of-the-line Gold variant. Now that it’s confirmed that the AMT gearbox will only be available with a 1.0-litre engine and not the 0.8-litre engine, its fairly easy to make an educated guess of its expected price.
The T(O) variant is the one from where the 1.0-litre engine options are available and it is priced at Rs 3.58 lakh. Hence, the same variant with the AMT gearbox priced in the vicinity of Rs 4 lakh makes a lot of sense.
The Datsun redi-GO 1.0L AMT comes with a 1.0-litre, 3-cylinder motor which churns out 68PS@5500 rpm and maximum torque of 91Nm@4250rpm. Its rivals include the Renault Kwid AMT and the Alto K10 AMT.
