of what the variant costs extra

ZX+ 1.5 Petrol MT costs ₹1,41,000 more than ZX 1.5 Petrol MT and brings 5 features we value at ₹86,000, roughly 60% 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 — ₹80,000 of the ₹86,000 this variant adds — is equipment that only comes from the factory, led by Surround View Camera and 8-Way Powered Driver Seat. If you want it, a dearer variant is the only way to get it.

Of the equipment this variant adds, at our valuations. Which features count as fit-later is set per feature in the methodology.
