The full story
The Grand i10 Nios base model is the Era, from ₹5.60L ex-showroom; the top model is the Asta, from ₹7.57L. That is ₹1.97L more. The dearest way to buy the Asta is ₹8.09L.
The Asta adds electronic stability control, ISOFIX child seat anchorages, tyre pressure monitor and rear parking camera, and 13 more over the Era.
6 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 Sportz, not the jump to the top; above it the Asta adds ISOFIX child seat anchorages, wheel type (Alloy against Steel) and wireless CarPlay / Android Auto, and 2 more for the rest of the money.
