The eye-catcher that runs from the indicator to the tail is angular, rather than a straight line, to reduce any visual heaviness that the car might have otherwise created.

Figo’s fuel tank can hold 45 litres of fuel and the car is expected to give a mileage of 12 km per liter in cities and 15 km per litre on highways.
