ZXi 1.2 CNG AGS costs ₹1,00,600 more than VXi 1.2 CNG AGS and brings 8 features we value at ₹79,475, roughly 79% 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.
