The full story
The Innova Crysta base model is the GX, from ₹19.72L ex-showroom; the top model is the ZX, from ₹26.63L. That is ₹6.91L more.
The ZX adds airbags (7 against 3), tyre pressure monitor, rear parking camera and headlamps (LED projector against Halogen), and 12 more over the GX.
2 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 VX, not the jump to the top; above it the ZX adds tyre pressure monitor, wheel size (17" against 16") and 8-way powered driver seat, and 1 more for the rest of the money.
