of what the variant costs extra

Pure+ L 1.5 Petrol DCA costs ₹1,30,000 more than Pure L 1.5 Petrol DCA and brings 7 features we value at ₹1,27,000, roughly 97% 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.

Most of it — ₹1,27,000 of the ₹1,27,000 this variant adds — is equipment that only comes from the factory, led by Dual-Pane Panoramic Sunroof and Front Ventilated Seats. If you want it, a dearer variant is the only way to get it.

Of the equipment this variant adds, at our valuations. Which features count as fit-later is set per feature in the methodology.
