The full story
The Astor base model is the Sprint, from ₹9.79L ex-showroom; the top model is the Savvy Pro, from ₹15.30L. That is ₹5.51L more.
The Savvy Pro adds airbags (6 against 2), level 2 (core suite) ADAS, 360° camera and blind spot monitor, and 20 more over the Sprint.
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 Select, not the jump to the top; above it the Savvy Pro adds 360° camera, blind spot monitor and level 2 (core suite) ADAS, and 4 more for the rest of the money.
