of what the variant costs extra

AX3 2.0 Petrol MT costs ₹2,38,000 more than AX 2.0 Petrol MT and brings only ₹28,125 of equipment we can put a price on — about 11% of what you pay. Unless you specifically need something in the list below, AX 2.0 Petrol MT 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.
