of what the variant costs extra

ZXi 1.5 Petrol AT costs ₹1,06,200 more than VXi 1.5 Petrol AT and brings 9 features we value at ₹82,650, roughly 77% 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.

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.
