of what the variant costs extra

AX7 1.5 Diesel AMT costs ₹1,60,000 more than AX5 1.5 Diesel AMT and brings only ₹90,160 of equipment we can put a price on — about 56% of what you pay. Unless you specifically need something in the list below, AX5 1.5 Diesel AMT 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.

What the extra equipment is

Factory-only or fit it later

Only from the factory
₹21,160 · 2 features
Could be fitted later
₹69,000 · 7 features

Most of it — ₹69,000 of the ₹90,160 — is equipment we value against parts you can buy and fit afterwards, led by Premium Branded Sound System 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 ₹1,60,000 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.

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.
