of what the variant costs extra

Asta 1.2 Petrol MT costs ₹2,71,500 more than Era 1.2 Petrol MT and brings 23 features we value at ₹2,12,500, roughly 78% 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.
