of what the variant costs extra

Highline Plus 1.0 Turbo Petrol AT costs ₹1,47,000 more than Highline 1.0 Turbo Petrol AT and brings only ₹70,000 of equipment we can put a price on — about 47% of what you pay. Unless you specifically need something in the list below, Highline 1.0 Turbo Petrol AT 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 — ₹67,000 of the ₹70,000 this variant adds — is equipment that only comes from the factory, led by Single-Pane Electric Sunroof and 7-Inch Digital Instrument Cluster. If you want it, a dearer variant is the only way to get it.

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.
