B8 1.5 Diesel MT costs ₹61,999 more than B6 1.5 Diesel MT and brings only ₹33,120 of equipment we can put a price on — about 53% of what you pay. Unless you specifically need something in the list below, B6 1.5 Diesel MT is the better buy.

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 — ₹33,120 of the ₹33,120 — is equipment we value against parts you can buy and fit afterwards, led by 15-Inch Alloy Wheels and Leatherette Upholstery. Our figures for those are mid-market accessory prices, not a quote, so it is worth pricing them from a fitter against the ₹61,999 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.
