XT 26 kWh costs ₹50,000 more than XE 26 kWh and brings only ₹28,050 of equipment we can put a price on — about 56% of what you pay. Unless you specifically need something in the list below, XE 26 kWh is the better buy.

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.

What the extra equipment is

₹21,250 · 4 features

Most of it — ₹21,250 of the ₹28,050 — is equipment we value against parts you can buy and fit afterwards, led by 7-Inch Touchscreen Infotainment and Remote Central Locking. Our figures for those are mid-market accessory prices, not a quote, so it is worth pricing them from a fitter against the ₹50,000 this variant costs extra.

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

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.
