The Elevate base model is the SV, from ₹11.80L ex-showroom; the top model is the ZX+ Black, from ₹16.90L. That is ₹5.10L more. The dearest way to buy the ZX+ Black is ₹18.40L.
The ZX+ Black adds level 2 (core suite) ADAS, 360° camera, blind spot monitor and single-pane sunroof, and 24 more over the SV.
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 V, not the jump to the top; above it the ZX+ Black adds 360° camera, front parking sensors and blind spot monitor, and 21 more for the rest of the money.
