of what the variant costs extra

Sharp Pro 1.5 Turbo Petrol MT costs ₹1,70,000 more than Smart Pro 1.5 Turbo Petrol MT and brings 10 features we value at ₹1,22,000, roughly 71% 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.

Values are our own estimates of what each feature is worth on this segment of car, not manufacturer pricing. 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.
