The full story
The Exter base model is the HX 2, from ₹5.81L ex-showroom; the top model is the HX 10, from ₹9.46L. That is ₹3.65L more.
The HX 10 adds tyre pressure monitor, rear parking camera, single-pane sunroof and 8" touchscreen, and 16 more over the HX 2.
5 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 HX 3, not the jump to the top; above it the HX 10 adds tyre pressure monitor, SOS call and wheel size (15" against 14"), and 13 more for the rest of the money.
