Z8 T 2.2 Diesel MT costs ₹6,46,001 more than Z2 2.2 Diesel MT and brings 29 features we value at ₹4,90,625, roughly 75% of the price difference. Reasonable if you specifically want what it adds; not a bargain. The engine changes too: +43 bhp / +70 Nm, from 130 bhp / 300 Nm to 173 bhp / 370 Nm.

Values are our own estimates of what each feature is worth on this segment of car, not manufacturer pricing. We only price equipment that differs between trims, so this column will not add up to the full price gap — the rest pays for materials, fit and finish, and margin. Every valuation and its reasoning is published here.
