The full story
The Kiger base model is the Authentic, from ₹5.81L ex-showroom; the top model is the Emotion, from ₹8.50L. That is ₹2.69L more. The dearest way to buy the Emotion is ₹10.40L.
The Emotion adds 360° camera, headlamps (LED projector against Halogen), ventilated front seats and 8" touchscreen, and 14 more over the Authentic.
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 Evolution+, not the jump to the top; above it the Emotion adds 360° camera, headlamps (LED projector against Halogen) and wheel type (Alloy against Steel), and 9 more for the rest of the money.
