The full story
The XUV 3XO base model is the MX1, from ₹7.79L ex-showroom; the top model is the AX7 L, from ₹13.32L. That is ₹5.53L more. The dearest way to buy the AX7 L is ₹15.04L.
The AX7 L adds level 2 (core suite) ADAS, 360° camera, blind spot monitor and tyre pressure monitor, and 29 more over the MX1.
12 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 REVX M (O), not the jump to the top; above it the AX7 L adds tyre pressure monitor, 360° camera and front parking sensors, and 28 more for the rest of the money.
