of what the variant costs extra

ZX 1.5 Petrol CVT costs ₹1,50,000 more than VX 1.5 Petrol CVT and brings 7 features we value at ₹1,48,000, roughly 98% of the price difference. Reasonable if you specifically want what it adds; not a bargain.

We price the equipment that separates these two trims. The rest of the difference pays for things we don't itemise — materials, fit and finish, and the manufacturer's own margin. An upgrade that clears 100% is one where the equipment alone is worth what it costs.

Most of it — ₹1,17,000 of the ₹1,48,000 this variant adds — is equipment that only comes from the factory, led by Level 2 ADAS Suite and Front Ventilated Seats. If you want it, a dearer variant is the only way to get it.

Values are our own estimates of what each feature is worth on this segment of car, not manufacturer pricing. We only price equipment that differs between trims, so this column will not add up to the full price gap — the rest pays for materials, fit and finish, and margin.
