largest in the world with an annual production of 23.37 million vehicles in FY

prominent auto exporter and has strong export growth expectations for the near

major investment by Big automobile players in the Indian market are expected to
make India a leader in the Four Wheeler (4W) market in the world by 2020 and
going by it, NISSAN is ensuring that there are no stones left unturned.
In India, style matters as much as comfort and when it comes
owning a car a typical Indian middle–class don’t want to comprise on any of it. Keeping this as their priority, many automobile giants are exploring all the possible ways to lure The Great Indian middle class. With the likes of Toyota with their Etios Cross, Fiat with Punto already trying to capture the market by providing a car which has style, comfort and also comes with reasonable price. Nissan on the other hand has come up with something which could prove to be a game changer and may give all its rival company a run for their money. Showcased in Auto expo 2014 in its concept and calling it India’s first ever Urban cross Nissan India is all set to launch the much-awaited Datsun Redi-Go hatchback in the country on June 7, 2016. The company has already started dispatching the vehicle to its dealerships across the nation.

Taking the youth of the country into consideration and trying to grab all their attention with the tag "Fun. Freedom. Confidence". The ultimate Urban Cross - Datsun Redi-GO - the capability of a crossover with the convenience of a hatchback is priced starting just at 2.50Lakhs(Ex-showroom).To make it easier to access the company has also introduced a ‘Datsun India App’ that can be downloaded from Google Play store. This app not only provides latest news about the Redi-Go, but enables customers to book the car as well. Though I have not test drive the car myself, I have come across many reviews applauding this new beauty by Nissan.
Being from a middle class family by myself, I feel that what makes the Redi-go more appealing to the
Indians and make it sure shot winner in India in its category is its
fuel-efficiency with Nissan claiming that it can offer an impressive mileage of
25.17kmpl which is best in the category.
Style matters and with the kind of forward styling you would find on a crossover, the Datsun Redi-GO
is anything but conventional. With a wide, robust stance, you get impressive
room and a sporty attitude. Compact & sleek, yet aggressive robust stance - Created by agile
dynamic cabin & robust under body construction. The bold and classy Datsun character grille
speaks of its high quality. The gem-inspired chrome bezel and subtle honeycomb
pattern perfectly frame the Datsun badge, symbolizing the great things still to
come.

We, Indians, make sure that when we spend ,we do it on the right things, with so much to
offer and with a price starting from 2.50 Lakhs, Nissan Datsun Redi-Go is
surely going to give a feel good feeling.
I would
definitely like to test drive this beauty by myself and whenever I get a chance
I would definitely like to go on a drive from my native place Guwahati to enchanting

be more than handy along the curves of Shillong.
