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 ₹1,64,000 this variant costs extra.
