of what the variant costs extra

HTX 42 kWh costs ₹1,00,000 more than HTK+ 42 kWh and brings 4 features we value at ₹66,240, roughly 66% 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 — ₹66,240 of the ₹66,240 this variant adds — is equipment that only comes from the factory, led by Dual-Pane Panoramic Sunroof and Rear Defogger & Wiper/Washer. 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.
