Datsun Redi GO: Safety Progress with a Vision for Improvement

The Datsun Redi GO has taken a step forward in vehicle safety, as reflected in the latest Global NCAP crash tests, earning a 1-Star rating for adult protection and a 2-Star rating for child occupant protection.

The Ratings Explained

The Redi GO, tested by Global NCAP, scored 8.36 out of a maximum 17 points for adult occupant protection and 15.63 out of 49 for child occupant protection. While these scores indicate room for improvement, particularly regarding driver chest protection, they also show progress over previous models.

Adult and Child Occupant Protection

The Redi GO’s performance in the frontal offset crash test at 64 km/h revealed a need for enhanced protection, especially in the driver’s chest area. The child protection rating was better but could have benefited from rear seatbelts with pretensioners and ISOFIX child seat anchors.
