The full story
The Kodiaq base model is the Lounge, from ₹36.99L ex-showroom; the top model is the Selection L&K, from ₹46.99L. That is ₹10.00L more.
The Selection L&K adds level 2 (core suite) ADAS, 360° camera, blind spot monitor and Canton premium sound system, and 4 more over the Lounge.
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 Kodiaq 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.
