of what the variant costs extra

Creative S 1.2 CNG MT costs ₹35,000 more than Creative 1.2 CNG MT and brings 1 feature we value at ₹29,750, roughly 85% 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.
