Japanese automaker Nissan is bringing its newest offering this June to the shores of India - the Datsun redi-GO, a unique fusion of compact crossover and urban hatchback, hence offering best of both the worlds.

This newest car is a unique combination of style and comfort with the best of Japanese technology. The car is fully designed and developed in India, perfect for the Indian urban population. This car satisfies all the criteria and it is India's first ever urban cross.

Some of the features that I was attracted to on the first look of the car are listed below:

Design
Datsun redi-GO has got a charismatic exterior as well as interior design. Its wide and robust stance gives you an impressive room and a sporty attitude. You can enjoy a wider view of the road and the surroundings. Its sleek exterior design is fabulous. It is also a car to take your family along as it is very spacious from inside with a seating capacity for 5 people and enough space for luggage, hence you needn't cramp for space. The dashboard is beautifully designed and the digital tachometer installed keeps the track of your current fuel economy. The interior fabric is inspired by sports car giving you an energetic feel. It has got an excellent audio system and also has power windows for getting fresh air at your finger tips. The touch of silver gives this car a premium appeal.

Performance
The first thing that comes in mind while purchasing a car is its engine capacity and fuel efficiency. Datsun redi-GO has an engine capacity of 799cc and a fuel economy of 25.17 km/L. It also gives a knocking free and smooth performance as its engine uses Intelligent Spark Automated Technique (i-SAT) which automatically adjust spark timings in response to fuel quality and power requirement. The turning radius of this car is just 4.7 metre which gives complete flexibility if your are stuck in a compact area.

Comfort
Datsun redi-GO gives you a smooth control as it has got 5-speed manual transmission with precise shifting. It has a drive computer indicator which displays contents such as distance to empty, fuel remaining and much more directly infront of your eyes. It has got an easy to read shift indicator which shows the ideal time to shift for maximum efficiency and performance. It also has got a superior air conditioning system with a compressor capacity of 89CC. Its centre AC vent ensures 50% of the airflow distribution is given to the passengers on the rear seat. 

With all these amazing features and much more that the Datsun redi-GO has to offer, there is one more attractive feature and it is the price. If buying a car has always been in your wishlist but couldn't afford due to the high prices, you can easily get it now as it cost you somewhere between 2.5 lakhs to 3.5 lakhs only.

I'm looking forward to test drive this compact beauty in my city Bangalore. The first thing that I'll check will be the mileage. I'll also look for ground clearance, steering sensitivity, comfort, safety and performance. I want to test drive during heavy traffics on Bangalore roads as this will give me an opportunity to truly test the car in all aspects.

So, go and grab your dream car from your nearest Nissan dealership outlet. Alternatively, you can book it through Snapdeal as well.

The car best described in Datsun's words:

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