The short answer

Buy the Pack Two Above 70kWh.

The Pack Two Above 70kWh at ₹24.45L is the cheapest XEV 9S that clears the safety and convenience kit most buyers actually want — the Vahnam Pick. Below it you give up real kit to save a little; above it you're mostly buying styling.

Only step up for a specific reason — Level 2 ADAS, 360° camera and Premium audio. Most of the gap in between is styling.
