The full story
The Meridian base model is the Longitude, from ₹23.33L ex-showroom; the top model is the Track Edition, from ₹36.39L. That is ₹13.06L more. The dearest way to buy the Track Edition is ₹38.26L.
On the same engine and gearbox, going from the Longitude Diesel AT to the Track Edition Diesel FWD AT is ₹8.86L.
The Track Edition adds level 2 (core suite) ADAS, 360° camera, blind spot monitor and Alpine premium sound system, and 14 more over the Longitude.
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 Limited (O), not the jump to the top; above it the Track Edition adds blind spot monitor, level 2 (core suite) ADAS and cruise control for the rest of the money.

Only the rows that differ. Most important first, and anything the top model gives up is marked, because a ladder is not always a straight climb.
