With less than two months to go for the 2018 Auto Expo, car manufacturers are gearing up to launch new models in the country. However, there are some carmakers out there who don’t want to wait for the biennial event to kick things off for the new year. Here’s a list of the cars which will go up on sale ahead of the 2018 Auto Expo.
Datsun redi-GO 1.0 AMT: Datsun will launch an AMT-equipped (automated manual transmission) version of the redi-GO in the second half of January 2018. Like the Renault Kwid with which it shares its engines, it is most likely to be introduced with the 1.0-litre engine. However, it will be interesting to see if it gets the same rotary dial from the Kwid instead of a regular shifter lever setup similar to the one on the Alto K10. When launched, the redi-GO AMT is expected to be priced at a premium of about Rs 30,000 over the manual variants, which start at Rs 3.57 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi). The prices for the redi-GO 0.8L start at Rs 2.41 lakh and goes to Rs 3.49 lakh (ex-showroom India).
