ZXi 1.2 Petrol AGS costs ₹44,000 more than VXi 1.0 Petrol AGS. The engine changes: +22 bhp / +23 Nm 1.2 K12N, from 68 bhp / 91 Nm to 90 bhp / 114 Nm.

We price the equipment that separates these two trims. Power and torque are the manufacturer's published figures, and we do not convert them into rupees, so the equipment total is not a verdict on this variant.
