Prestige 1.0 TSI AT costs ₹4,75,000 more than Classic+ 1.0 TSI AT and brings only ₹2,10,000 of equipment we can put a price on — about 44% of what you pay. Unless you specifically need something in the list below, Classic+ 1.0 TSI AT 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.

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.
