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 ₹95,000 this variant costs extra.

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.
