    So I looked up the specs for the first 5K-ish India car I found.

    https://www.cardekho.com/maruti/alto-k10/specs

    As far as I can tell, it has every feature you’re saying is responsible for western automakers charging around 6 times the cost of this car… sans heated seats and purported safety standards.

    Chevy charges an additional $1K for the package that adds heated seats to their Bolt EV.

    So, am I to take you at face value that you’re inferring that safety concerns and standards are responsible for the remainder of the price gouging?
