of what the variant costs extra

Exclusive 17.3 kWh costs ₹90,000 more than Excite 17.3 kWh and brings only ₹39,200 of equipment we can put a price on — about 43% of what you pay. Unless you specifically need something in the list below, Excite 17.3 kWh 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.

Most of it — ₹30,800 of the ₹39,200 this variant adds — is equipment that only comes from the factory, led by Electronic Stability Control (ESC) and All 4 Disc Brakes. 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.
