The full story
The Discovery base model is the Gemini, from ₹1.26Cr ex-showroom; the top model is the Tempest, from ₹1.39Cr. That is ₹13.06L more.
The Tempest adds headlamps (Bi-LED + booster lamp against Bi-LED projector), ventilated front seats, head-up display and rear ventilated seats, and 4 more over the Gemini.
1 trim sits between the two, so the jump is rarely how anyone actually buys.
With 3 trims the steps are too few to rank fairly, so the trade above is the whole story: the money buys the features, and whether that is worth it to you is the question the Discovery table below is there to answer.
