Hyundai has introduced a new special edition of its popular hatchback, the i20 Knight Edition, in India. The starting price is Rs. 9.15 lakh (ex-showroom). This version is built on the Sportz (O) and Asta (O) trims of the regular i20.
The Knight Edition brings a sporty and premium dark look, which will attract buyers who love stylish cars with unique details.
Design Highlights of the Knight Edition
The Knight Edition comes with several black-finished elements like alloy wheels, roof rails, skid plates, ORVMs, side sills, and even the Hyundai logos. A Knight emblem is also added to make it stand out.
To give it a sporty touch, Hyundai has also fitted red brake callipers and metal pedals. The cabin has an all-black interior with brass colour accents, while the seats get black upholstery with brass highlights. This makes the car look different from the regular i20.
Knight Edition for i20 N Line Too
Interestingly, Hyundai has not limited this special edition to just the i20. The company has also given the Knight Edition package to the i20 N Line.
The i20 N Line Knight Edition is available in N8 and N10 trims, with prices starting from Rs. 11.43 lakh (ex-showroom). This makes it an option for people who want an even sportier hatchback.
No Mechanical Changes
Mechanically, the i20 Knight Edition is the same as the standard model. It comes with a 1.2-litre petrol engine paired with a 5-speed manual or CVT gearbox.
Meanwhile, the i20 N Line Knight Edition continues to use the 1.0-litre turbo petrol engine, which can be paired with either a 6-speed manual or a DCT automatic.
Why Hyundai Brings Knight Edition
Hyundai has earlier launched Knight Editions of models like the Creta and Venue. These versions give a special identity to regular models and help attract younger buyers who like a stylish, bold design.
In the case of the i20, Hyundai is clearly trying to keep the hatchback exciting in the competitive Indian car market, where design and features often decide a customer’s choice.
Conclusion
The launch of the Hyundai i20 Knight Edition is another step by the company to keep its hatchback range attractive. With dark styling, sporty touches, and no extra mechanical changes, this edition is mainly about looks and premium feel. It is ideal for buyers who want something different from the regular i20 without spending too much extra money.
