Datsun’s entry-level model and one of the most affordable cars in India, the redi-GO, just got safer. The hatchback now comes standard with ABS and EBD, driver airbag, rear parking assist sensor, high speed warning and seatbelt reminder. Of these additions, ABS with EBD were already available since November 2018. Datsun has also made the variants lineup simpler, cutting the total down to just 5 variants.
The updated redi-GO is priced from Rs 2.79 lakh for the base D variant, going all the way till Rs 4.37 lakh (ex-showroom, India) for the range-topping S 1.0-litre with the AMT. The above said safety additions come as a result of the Indian government making these safety equipment mandatory by October 1.
