For the competition, it rivals against the other entry-level hatchbacks, which includes Maruti Suzuki Alto K10 and 800 and Renault Kwid. It was the perfect competitor for the now defunct, Tata Nano. Currently, Datsun Redi-GO has an averageย position in the market. Despite giving many features in this price range, it fails to attract a lot of customers. The main reasons are because of its noisy engine and rather a scrunched-up appearance.
