The King Lounge Edition adds level 2 (full suite) ADAS, 360° camera, blind spot monitor and headlamps (LED projector against Halogen), and 33 more over the E.
8 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 S(O), not the jump to the top; above it the King Lounge Edition adds 360° camera, front parking sensors and blind spot monitor, and 18 more for the rest of the money.
