The full story
The Swift base model is the LXi, from ₹5.84L ex-showroom; the top model is the ZXi+, from ₹8.20L. That is ₹2.36L more. The dearest way to buy the ZXi+ is ₹8.65L.
The ZXi+ adds rear parking camera, headlamps (LED projector against Halogen), 9" touchscreen and wireless CarPlay / Android Auto, and 13 more over the LXi.
Top of the ladder is not top of the price list here: the ZXi CNG AT at ₹8.86L costs more.
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 ZXi, not the jump to the top; above it the ZXi+ adds rear parking camera, LED fog lamps and touchscreen (9" against 7"), and 1 more for the rest of the money.
