The full story
The Slavia base model is the Classic, from ₹9.99L ex-showroom; the top model is the Monte Carlo, from ₹17.29L. That is ₹7.30L more. The dearest way to buy the Monte Carlo is ₹18.84L.
The Monte Carlo adds 360° camera, headlamps (LED projector against Halogen), single-pane sunroof and ventilated front seats, and 20 more over the Classic.
4 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 Sportline, not the jump to the top; above it the Monte Carlo adds driver display (10.25" digital against 7" digital), auto headlamps and ventilated front seats, and 2 more for the rest of the money.

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.
