- ₹91,000 · 5 features
Most of it — ₹91,000 of the ₹1,30,000 — is equipment we value against parts you can buy and fit afterwards, led by 10.25-Inch HD Touchscreen Infotainment and 17-Inch Alloy Wheels. Our figures for those are mid-market accessory prices, not a quote, so it is worth pricing them from a fitter against the ₹1,75,000 this variant costs extra.
