of what the variant costs extra

Emotion 1.0 Petrol MT costs ₹90,000 more than Techno 1.0 Petrol MT and brings 12 features we value at ₹1,16,840 — 129% of what you pay, so the equipment alone covers the price rise. If you want any of them, this is the trim to 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.

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.
