of what the variant costs extra

Z8 2.2 Diesel MT costs ₹96,901 more than Z8 Select 2.2 Diesel MT and brings 7 features we value at ₹69,375, roughly 71% 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.
