Hyundai has launched the Knight Edition of its seven-seater SUV, the Alcazar, in India. The price starts from Rs. 21.65 lakh (ex-showroom). This new edition gives the Alcazar a matte black paint scheme along with several sporty design changes.
The Knight Edition has been introduced along with two other Hyundai models – the i20 and Creta Electric. This move shows Hyundai’s strategy to attract young and style-focused buyers.
Design and Styling Updates
The Knight Edition of the Alcazar looks more aggressive and premium because of its black theme. The SUV now gets:
- Black alloy wheels
- Red brake callipers
- Matte black Hyundai logos at front and rear
- Knight Edition emblem
- Black skid plates, sill garnish, and roof rails
Inside the cabin, Hyundai has given an all-black interior with brass accents, black seat covers with brass stitching, and sporty metal pedals. These changes make the Alcazar Knight Edition stand apart from the standard model.
Functional Additions: Dashcam Included
Apart from cosmetic updates, Hyundai has added a dashcam to the Alcazar Knight Edition. This is a useful feature for recording journeys and for safety purposes, especially in cities where road accidents and insurance disputes are common.
Engine and Variants
The Alcazar Knight Edition is offered only in the top-end Signature trims. Customers can choose between two engine options:
- 1.5-litre turbo petrol with 7-speed DCT
- 1.5-litre diesel with 6-speed automatic
There are no mechanical changes in this edition, so the driving performance remains the same as the regular Alcazar.
Why Hyundai is Expanding Knight Edition Lineup
Hyundai has already tasted success with Knight Editions of the Creta and Venue. By extending this theme to the Alcazar, i20, and Creta Electric, Hyundai wants to keep its models fresh, stylish, and youth-focused. The matte black colour trend is growing popular in India, and Hyundai is smartly using it to make its cars more desirable.
Conclusion
The launch of the Hyundai Alcazar Knight Edition shows that the company is focusing on design and premium feel to attract buyers. With matte black styling, red highlights, a Knight emblem, and a dashcam, this edition is more about looks and lifestyle than performance upgrades. It is a perfect choice for those who want their SUV to look bold and unique.
