of what the variant costs extra

EX(O) 1.5 Diesel MT costs ₹1,07,200 more than EX 1.5 Diesel MT and brings 5 features we value at ₹1,04,000, roughly 97% 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 — ₹91,000 of the ₹1,04,000 this variant adds — is equipment that only comes from the factory, led by Dual-Pane Panoramic Sunroof and Full LED Headlamps with LED DRLs. 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.
