Hyundai has recently introduced the Venue Knight Edition, a special variant of their popular compact SUV. The Venue Knight Edition features an all-black paint with red accents and brass coloured inserts that set it apart from the standard Venue. This marks Hyundai's third Knight Edition release, following the successful launches of the Creta and Alcazar Knight Editions. Price range for the Venue Knight edition is between Rs 10 lakh to Rs 13.48 lakh.
2023 Hyundai Venue Knight edition: What’s new?
The Venue Knight Edition gets cosmetic enhancements along with added features. Notable exterior changes include blacked-out elements such as the front grille, roof rails, alloy wheels, wing mirrors, front and rear skid plates. Hyundai has also incorporated brass-coloured details on elements like the bumpers, alloy wheels, and roof rails, complemented by red front brake callipers. The vehicle's logos sport a 'dark chrome' treatment, and a Knight Emblem, reminiscent of the one on the Creta. The Knight Edition is available in four monotone colour options: Abyss Black, Atlas White, Titan Gray, Fiery Red, and Fiery Red with Abyss Black. Inside, the theme continues with all-black upholstery featuring brass highlights. Noteworthy additions include a dashcam and an auto-dimming rear-view mirror. The dashcam, equipped with dual cameras, reappears in the Venue, previously seen in the N-line version. Other new features that the Knight edition Venue gets are sporty metal pedals and an ECM inside rearview mirror.
