The full story
The Baleno base model is the Sigma, from ₹5.99L ex-showroom; the top model is the Alpha (O), from ₹9.50L. That is ₹3.51L more. The dearest way to buy the Alpha (O) is ₹9.99L.
The Alpha (O) adds level 2 (core suite) ADAS, 360° camera, blind spot monitor and headlamps (LED projector against Halogen), and 18 more over the Sigma.
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 Zeta, not the jump to the top; above it the Alpha (O) adds 360° camera, blind spot monitor and level 2 (core suite) ADAS, and 5 more for the rest of the money.
