Characteristics
The redi-Go uses the CMF-A platform as the Renault Kwid, which was launched earlier, with the same 0.8-litre BR08 three-cylinder petrol engine with a 40 kW (54 hp; 54 PS) power output and 72 N⋅m (53 lb⋅ft) of torque,[2] coupled to a 5-speed manual transmission. In addition to the original 0.8-litre engine, a 1.0-litre BR10 engine option was also added in 2017. It produces 50 kW (67 hp; 68 PS) and 91 N⋅m (67 lb⋅ft) of torque.[3]
The redi-Go is comparably lighter, shorter, and has a larger ground clearance (185 mm (7.3 in)) than the Kwid.[4]
