The full story
The Grand Vitara base model is the Sigma, from ₹10.77L ex-showroom; the top model is the Alpha+ (Strong Hybrid), from ₹19.50L. That is ₹8.73L more.
The Alpha+ (Strong Hybrid) adds 360° camera, tyre pressure monitor, headlamps (LED projector against Halogen) and Clarion premium sound system, and 22 more over the Sigma.
5 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+ (Strong Hybrid), not the jump to the top; above it the Alpha+ (Strong Hybrid) adds tyre pressure monitor, 360° camera and puddle lamps, and 5 more for the rest of the money.
