The latter sees a price hike of Rs. 18,000 resulting in it being offered at Rs. 6.13 lakh. However, despite the price jump in the aforementioned variants, all the other trims face price cuts.
For example, the 1.2 Titanium petrol manual and 1.2 Titanium petrol automatic variants, are the most beneficiaries as they witness Rs. 39,000 price drop each. They currently cost Rs. 6.00 lakh (from Rs. 6.39 lakh) and Rs. 7.70 lakh (from Rs. 8.09 lakh) respectively.

The Figo competes against usual rivals Maruti Suzuki Swift and Hyundai Grand i10 that are selling in big numbers and the price revision could be meant to make the hatchback more appealing for customers. In the facelifted version, the American auto major has presented comprehensive exterior changes along with interior revisions.
It has also received two new petrol and one diesel engine options with three powertrain choices. The bigger 1.5-litre petrol engine sold in the Titanium trim is mated to a six-speed torque converter automatic transmission developing 123 PS and 150 Nm (most powerful in its segment) while the 1.2-litre petrol sourced from Freestyle makes 96 PS and 120 Nm. The 1.5-litre diesel is good enough for 100 PS and 215 Nm with claimed economy of 25.5 kmpl.
