of what the variant costs extra

Prestige 1.5 TSI DSG costs ₹20,000 more than Monte Carlo 1.5 TSI DSG and adds no equipment we track — it may differ on trim finish or styling instead. Check the table below before paying the difference.

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.
