Hyundai i20 gets the Knight Edition badge

Key highlights

• Hyundai introduces the i20 Knight Edition in Sportz (O) MT and Asta (O) IVT trims, starting at INR 9.15 lakh.
• The Knight Edition features all-black styling, brass-accented interiors, and exclusive badging.
• New additions include a rear spoiler, dashcam, and wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.

Hyundai Motor India has expanded its Knight Edition portfolio with the launch of the i20 Knight Edition. Offered in two trims—Sportz (O) with manual transmission and Asta (O) with IVT automatic, the new variant builds on the i20’s popularity by adding a darker, sportier edge. Priced from INR 9.15 lakh (ex-showroom), the Knight Edition is aimed at buyers who want a premium hatchback with a bit of attitude.

This launch is part of Hyundai’s festive season push, and it’s clear the brand knows how to dress up a familiar silhouette with just the right amount of flair.

Powertrain and performance

Mechanically, the i20 Knight Edition remains unchanged. It continues with the 1.2-litre Kappa petrol engine that produces 83 hp and 115 Nm of torque. Transmission options include a 5-speed manual and an IVT automatic. No turbo, no drama—just smooth city cruising and decent highway manners.

Styling

Hyundai has gone full stealth mode with the Knight Edition. Exterior upgrades include:

• Black alloy wheels
• Red brake calipers
• Black roof rails, skid plates, ORVMs, and side sill garnish
• Matte black Hyundai logos
• Exclusive Knight badging
• Sporty rear spoiler

Inside, it’s all-black upholstery with brass inserts, metal pedals, and a premium finish that feels more boutique than budget.

Features

The Knight Edition isn’t just a cosmetic upgrade. Hyundai has added a few functional touches:

• Wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay
• Dashcam (Asta (O) IVT only)
• Rear spoiler (standard on both trims)
• Brass-accented cabin with black seat upholstery
• Sporty metal pedals (manual variant only)

These additions make the Knight Edition feel more complete, especially for buyers who want a bit more than just a paint job.

Pricing breakdown

Here’s how the i20 Knight Edition is priced:

The Knight Edition costs around INR 10,000 more than the standard variants it’s based on. That’s a fair ask for the added style and features.
