AX5 L 1.2 TGDi Petrol AT costs ₹1,39,500 more than AX5 1.2 Turbo Petrol AT and brings 7 features we value at ₹1,31,560, roughly 94% of the price difference. Reasonable if you specifically want what it adds; not a bargain. The engine changes too: +19 bhp / +30 Nm TGDi, from 110 bhp / 200 Nm to 129 bhp / 230 Nm.

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.
