Most of it — ₹22,080 of the ₹25,760 — is equipment we value against parts you can buy and fit afterwards, led by 8-Inch Touchscreen Infotainment and Day/Night Inside Mirror. Our figures for those are mid-market accessory prices, not a quote, so it is worth pricing them from a fitter against the ₹49,700 this variant costs extra.
