Blacked-out i20 with timely updates

Hyundai has launched the i20 Knight Edition in India, bringing the brand’s black theme to its premium hatchback with prices starting at ₹9.15 lakh (ex-showroom) for the Sportz (O) MT and going up to ₹11.34–11.35 lakh for the Asta (O) IVT, depending on source rounding. What’s so special about this car? Well, the “Knight” badge has been a massive hit for Hyundai, selling over 77,000 black-themed vehicles since 2022. This i20 not only continues that popular trend but also brings some handy new features along with the dark styling.

What’s in the Knight package

Outside, the i20 Knight Edition gets a full black treatment with matte black Hyundai logos, black alloys, blacked-out skid plates, red brake calipers and Knight badging for a more aggressive stance out of the showroom. Step inside and you’ll find a sleek, all-black cabin. The sporty feel is enhanced with brass accents and metal pedals, creating a stealthy interior that perfectly matches the outside. Hyundai has also added a new rear spoiler and a built-in dashcam as part of the i20’s feature updates, making life easier and safer.

Trims, engines and key numbers

The i20 Knight is available in Sportz (O) MT and Asta (O) IVT trims with the 1.2-litre petrol engine; in standard i20 this motor makes around 83 PS and 113 Nm with manual, while IVT variants have the same Kappa family numbers for easy city driving. Pricing is ₹9.14–₹9.15 lakh for Sportz (O) MT and ₹11.34–₹11.35 lakh for Asta (O) IVT, a roughly ₹10,000 premium over regular trims, making the Knight Edition a value-for-money cosmetic and feature package. Shoppers eyeing the sportier trim can also look at the i20 N Line in the Knight theme, offered in the top N8 grade with a choice of manual or DCT, priced at ₹11.43 lakh and ₹12.53 lakh, and powered by the familiar 1.0‑turbo setup with the blacked‑out styling cues layered on.

Features you’ll notice

Besides the cosmetic updates, buyers get a dashcam and wireless Android Auto/Apple CarPlay capability enabled through a plug-in dongle on certain variants, which makes day-to-day commuting simpler and neater. The visual upgrades are a big part of the appeal. Instead of going to a third party, you get a factory-fitted cosmetic package that includes things like brass inserts, special Knight badges, and red brake calipers with dark alloys, all without voiding your warranty. The broader Knight lineup expansion also means better availability and cross-model consistency in Hyundai showrooms before the festive season.
