The full story
The XEV 9e base model is the Pack One, from ₹21.90L ex-showroom; the top model is the Pack Three, from ₹30.50L. That is ₹8.60L more.
The Pack Three adds airbags (7 against 6), level 2 (full suite) ADAS, 360° camera and blind spot monitor, and 18 more over the Pack One.
3 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 Pack Two, not the jump to the top; above it the Pack Three adds airbags (7 against 6), 360° camera and blind spot monitor, and 8 more for the rest of the money.
