The full story
The BasaltX base model is the You, from ₹8.55L ex-showroom; the top model is the Max NA, from ₹11.34L. That is ₹2.79L more.
The Max NA adds tyre pressure monitor, headlamps (LED projector against Halogen), ventilated front seats and 10.25" touchscreen, and 15 more over the You.
Top of the ladder is not top of the price list here: the Max Turbo Petrol AT at ₹13.90L costs more.
4 trims sit between the two, so the jump is rarely how anyone actually buys.
The best value for money on this ladder is the step into the You Comfort Edition, not the jump to the top; above it the Max NA adds tyre pressure monitor, headlamps (LED projector against Halogen) and wheel type (Alloy against Steel), and 12 more for the rest of the money.
