of what the variant costs extra

GT Line 1.0 Turbo Petrol MT costs ₹30,000 more than Highline Plus 1.0 Turbo Petrol MT and brings only ₹10,000 of equipment we can put a price on — about 33% of what you pay. Unless you specifically need something in the list below, Highline Plus 1.0 Turbo Petrol MT 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.

Most of it — ₹10,000 of the ₹10,000 — is equipment we value against parts you can buy and fit afterwards, led by 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 ₹30,000 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.

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.
