Introducing Redi-GO, India's first Urban Cross

The first things are always special, especially for a girl, aren't they? Your first day at school, your first friendship, your first prize in a competition, your first scooter-ride, your first crush, your first date, your first internship, your first foreign visit and so on. All the first experiences remain etched in our memories all through our life. In a few days from now, I am going to experience another first - my first car-driving. Now imagine the joy I must have felt when the other day Papa promised to gift me a car as a birthday present! He had actually promised me a car last year if I topped my class in the graduation exam and so I did. Thus the prize. When he asked me to choose which car to buy, I literally jumped like a monkey, I just couldn't contain my happiness. I still can't believe that I am going to ride my own car!

However choosing that one right car out of so many available options is quite a difficult task. So since the last few days, I have been asking my friends for their suggestions and additionally I have also visited a few car showrooms with my father and have taken a few test rides as well, to check for myself how that particular car performs.

Driving a car on the Indian roads can be terrifying. Most urban cities in India have now become extremely congested and so also the roads. Wherever you go, you will invariably get stuff in the traffic. If that is not enough, the condition of the roads hardly gives one any joy of driving. Thus one probably needs a strong vehicle like an utility vehicle a SUV that can be driven on any road. However given the bumper-to-bumper traffic at most places, it won't be easy to navigate such a big vehicle in a busy street. A compact hatchback would probably seem to be a better option. How I wish I could have a car that is as strong as a SUV, has the capability of a crossover along with the best features of a hatchback! Am I asking for too much?

No, I am not, because thankfully, my prayers have been answered. In fact this is very soon going to be a reality, now that Datsun India has brought out its Redi-GO - a car that gives you the comfort of a SUV but with the convenience of a compact hatchback. Recently I came to know from an article about the launch of Redi-GO by Datsun. Thus one can now enjoy a hassle-free driving experience with Redi-GO, that's what I am expecting.

I have already fallen in love with Redi-GO's sleek design. It looks so classy and yet very cute and cool. I am sure most youngsters will love this car. Its striking features like the ‘D-cut grille’, the headlamps, the tail lamps and the first in class daytime running LED lights - they all add to its aura and help it in standing out among its peers in the compact crossover segment.

Thanks to its powerful engine (0.8L three-cylinder engine that has been paired with a five speed manual transmission), the RediGO promises a zippy driving experience and on top of that, superb fuel efficiency. Because of its high ground clearance of 185mm, which is the best in this segment, the Redi-GO promises to offer the driver a comfortable driving experience as well as generous amount of interior space.

The car is also expected to be sold at an affordable price. What I hear from the news reports is that it is going to be priced within four lakh rupees.
I am eagerly waiting for the official launch of the Redi-GO in the Indian car market so that I can have a test ride. I am already imagining driving this cutie on the roads of Delhi, through Lodhi road all the way to Shalimar Bagh. That would be real fun. I hope the car meets my expectations so that I can bring it home as soon as possible.

Fun. Freedom. Confidence. The ultimate Urban Cross - Datsun redi-GO - the capability of a crossover with the convenience of a hatchback.

Will Datsun's Redi-GO be my first car? I am keeping my fingers crossed.
