The full story
The E-Class base model is the E200, from ₹82.00L ex-showroom; the top model is the E450 4MATIC AMG Line, from ₹96.50L. That is ₹14.50L more.
The E450 4MATIC AMG Line adds headlamps (Bi-LED + booster lamp against LED projector) and ventilated front seats over the E200.
The top model is not a straight superset either: it goes without no blind spot monitor that the E200 has.
1 trim sits between the two, so the jump is rarely how anyone actually buys.
With 3 trims the steps are too few to rank fairly, so the trade above is the whole story: the money buys the features, and whether that is worth it to you is the question the E-Class table below is there to answer.

Only the rows that differ. Most important first, and anything the top model gives up is marked, because a ladder is not always a straight climb.
