of what the variant costs extra
GTX 1.5 Turbo Petrol DCT costs ₹38,000 more than HTX(O) 1.5 Turbo Petrol DCT and carries ₹16,150 less of the equipment we price, not more. It goes without Premium Branded Sound System. It does add LED Fog Lamps. These two sit on different lines of the range rather than one above the other, so this is a choice between two sets of equipment rather than a step up — which one is worth it depends on which list you want. The table below has both in full.
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 — ₹8,550 of the ₹8,550 — is equipment we value against parts you can buy and fit afterwards, led by LED Fog Lamps. Our figures for those are mid-market accessory prices, not a quote, so it is worth pricing them from a fitter against the ₹38,000 this variant costs extra.
Of the equipment this variant adds, at our valuations. Which features count as fit-later is set per feature in the methodology.
