The final, or third, level of the product is the augmented component. The augmented component includes additional services and benefits that surround the first two levels of the product.

Decisions at the first level of product management involve the marketing mix for an individual brand/product. These decisions are the responsibility of a brand manager (sometimes called a product manager).
The augmented level of a product consists of all the elements that surround both the core and the actual product
The actual product consists of the brand name, features, packaging, parts, and styling. These components provided the benefits to consumers that they seek at the first level.
The level at which a product's primary characteristics operate is typically at its baseline functionality or performance specifications. This is the level at which the product is designed to function optimally and provide its intended benefits to the user. Deviations from this level may result in reduced efficiency or effectiveness of the product.
Product - Level Activities relate to specific products and typically must be carried out regardless of how many batches are run or units of product are produced of sold. For example, activities suck as designing a product, advertising a product, and maintaining a product manager and staff are all product -level activities.

A product is the complete package that the customer receives by purchasing the item/service. This experience is broken down into four levels. The first level being the core product that is the actual product feature and attributes, for example a car. The next level is the functional product that is how it performs; following the example, the speed of the car, the design of the car, etc. The third level is the augmented product which is additional perks to the product; such as GPS navigation systems for the car, a website that provides consumer with tips for keeping their car in top shape or extend the life, etc. Finally your question, the last level is the potential product which is the true solution that customers are seeking when they buy the product/service, which is the convenience or ability to get to places quickly and hassle free for the car.
