The full story
The SEALION 7 base model is the Dynamic, from ₹41.90L ex-showroom; the top model is the Performance, from ₹55.90L. That is ₹14.00L more.
The Performance adds head-up display, speakers (12 against 10), driver seat memory and wheel size (20" against 19"), and 2 more over the Dynamic.
2 trims sit between the two, so the jump is rarely how anyone actually buys.
With 4 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 SEALION 7 table below is there to answer.
