Most of it — ₹40,940 of the ₹51,060 — is equipment we value against parts you can buy and fit afterwards, led by 10.25-Inch HD Touchscreen Infotainment and Rear Camera with Dynamic Guidelines. Our figures for those are mid-market accessory prices, not a quote, so it is worth pricing them from a fitter against the ₹85,000 this variant costs extra.
