XZ+ 26 kWh costs ₹50,000 more than XT 26 kWh and brings 11 features we value at ₹55,675 — 111% of what you pay, so the equipment alone covers the price rise. If you want any of them, this is the trim to 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.

Most of it — ₹39,100 of the ₹55,675 this variant adds — is equipment that only comes from the factory, led by Cruise Control and Smart Keyless Entry & Push Button Start. 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.

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. Every valuation and its reasoning is published here.
