Our take
The real reason to pay ₹0.05L more for the Alcazar Signature (Diesel): level 2 (full suite) ADAS, ventilated front seats and second-row captain seats. The useful extras on top: rear ventilated seats and powered driver seat (8-way against 6-way). The rest of the additions are minor trim. At that price, we would stretch.
