The full story
The Kushaq base model is the Classic+, from ₹10.69L ex-showroom; the top model is the Monte Carlo, from ₹17.89L. That is ₹7.20L more. The dearest way to buy the Monte Carlo is ₹18.99L.
On the same engine and gearbox, going from the Classic+ Turbo Petrol AT to the Monte Carlo Turbo Petrol 115 PS AT is ₹5.00L.
The Monte Carlo adds tyre pressure monitor, rear parking camera, sunroof (Panoramic against Single-pane) and ventilated front seats, and 17 more over the Classic+.
3 trims sit between the two, so the jump is rarely how anyone actually buys.
With 5 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 Kushaq 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.
