Hyundai has added more flair to its premium hatchback lineup with the launch of the i20 Knight Edition in India. Starting at ₹9.15 lakh (ex-showroom), this special edition version brings a bold and sporty vibe to the i20, offering a fresh visual update without any mechanical changes.
The Knight Edition has been launched on the Sportz (O) and Asta (O) variants, adding a number of cosmetic enhancements to set it apart from the standard i20.
Styling
The i20 Knight Edition focuses entirely on design tweaks. It adds a stealthier, blacked-out aesthetic, perfect for those who want their hatchback to stand out. Here’s what’s new:
- Blacked-out alloy wheels
- Black roof rails
- Black front and rear skid plates
- Black side sill garnish
- Matte black Hyundai logos
- Red brake callipers
- Exclusive Knight Edition badge
- Black outside mirrors
- Rear roof spoiler
- All-black interior with brass-coloured inserts
- Black seat upholstery with brass highlights
- Sporty metal pedals
This all gives the car a racier look, both inside and out. But underneath the skin, it remains the same i20 everyone knows.
N Line
Interestingly, Hyundai has also extended the Knight Edition treatment to the i20 N Line, their sportier turbo-petrol variant. The i20 N Line Knight Edition is available in N8 and N10 trims, with prices starting from ₹11.43 lakh (ex-showroom).
Just like the standard version, the N Line Knight Editions only get visual updates. No tweaks have been made to the suspension or performance package.
Engine
Both the standard i20 Knight and the N Line Knight Edition continue with the same engine options as before:
- i20 Knight Edition: 1.2-litre petrol engine paired with either a 5-speed manual or CVT automatic.
- i20 N Line Knight Edition: 1.0-litre turbo-petrol engine mated to either a 6-speed manual or 7-speed DCT.
There are no changes in terms of performance, ride, or fuel economy.
Lineup
The i20 Knight Edition will now be sold alongside the regular i20 and i20 N Line models, giving buyers more visual variety to choose from without changing the core package. It’s a smart move for Hyundai, especially considering how design-focused younger car buyers are today.
If you’re in the market for a stylish hatchback with a bold road presence and proven features, the i20 Knight Edition could be a tempting upgrade—especially with its black-on-black theme and red accents.
