of what the variant costs extra

Sharp Pro 1.5 Petrol CVT costs ₹96,000 more than Select 1.5 Petrol CVT and brings 5 features we value at ₹76,000, 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.

Most of it — ₹71,000 of the ₹76,000 this variant adds — is equipment that only comes from the factory, led by Front Ventilated Seats and Surround View Camera. If you want it, a dearer variant is the only way to get it.

Of the equipment this variant adds, at our valuations. Which features count as fit-later is set per feature in the methodology.

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.
