of what the variant costs extra

Climber 1.0 Petrol AMT costs ₹71,000 more than Evolution 1.0 Petrol AMT and brings only ₹31,500 of equipment we can put a price on — about 44% of what you pay. Unless you specifically need something in the list below, Evolution 1.0 Petrol AMT 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.
