The full story
The A4 base model is the Premium, from ₹46.88L ex-showroom; the top model is the Technology, from ₹55.83L. That is ₹8.95L more.
The Technology adds airbags (8 against 6), 360° camera, Bang & Olufsen premium sound system and speakers (19 against 10), and 2 more over the Premium.
1 trim sits between the two, so the jump is rarely how anyone actually buys.
With 3 trims the steps are too few to rank fairly, so the trade above is the whole story: the money buys the features, and whether that is worth it to you is the question the A4 table below is there to answer.
