Hyundai has launched a new special edition of its premium hatchback, the i20 Knight Edition, in India. Prices start at Rs. 9.15 lakh (ex-showroom). The new model adds a bold, sporty look to the already popular i20, giving buyers another reason to consider this hatchback. Hyundai has been releasing Knight Editions for some of its cars in India, and the i20 is the latest to get the treatment. More details on the launch can be found on the official Hyundai India website.
What Makes the Knight Edition Different?
The Knight Edition is based on the Sportz (O) and Asta (O) variants of the i20. On the outside, it comes with several blacked-out elements, such as alloy wheels, roof rails, side garnish, skid plates, rear spoiler, and even matte black Hyundai logos. The look is completed with red brake callipers and a unique Knight emblem. Inside the cabin, the theme continues with an all-black interior. Hyundai has added brass accents to the dashboard and door trims, while the seats also feature black upholstery with brass stitching. Sporty metal pedals further enhance the cabin’s appeal, giving it a more premium touch.
Knight Edition Also for i20 N Line
The Knight Edition is not limited to the standard i20. Hyundai has also introduced it on the i20 N Line, the sportier version of the hatchback. It is offered in the N8 and N10 trims, with prices starting from Rs. 11.43 lakh (ex-showroom). This means customers who love the performance of the N Line can now get the same bold, blacked-out styling that makes the Knight Edition stand out. The updates are mostly cosmetic, but they add to the aggressive image of the N Line.
Same Engines, No Mechanical Changes
Under the hood, the Knight Edition remains the same as the regular i20 and N Line. The standard i20 continues with its 1.2-litre petrol engine that produces 83 PS and 114 Nm of torque, paired with either a five-speed manual or a CVT automatic gearbox. Meanwhile, the i20 N Line Knight Edition is powered by a 1.0-litre turbo petrol engine, which delivers 120 PS and 172 Nm of torque. It is offered with a six-speed manual gearbox or a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic (DCT). The focus here is purely on styling, as the engines and performance figures remain unchanged.
Positioned Alongside Regular i20 and N Line
With the introduction of the Knight Edition, Hyundai now offers the i20 in three distinct choices the regular i20, the sporty N Line, and the new Knight Edition. This gives customers more flexibility depending on their budget and taste. Hyundai has previously introduced Knight Editions of other cars like the Venue and Creta, which have been well received. By bringing the same concept to the i20, Hyundai is targeting younger buyers who want a car that not only performs well but also looks unique on the road.
The Hyundai i20 Knight Edition is all about style and exclusivity. Priced from Rs. 9.15 lakh, it gives the i20 a bolder and sportier identity without changing what’s under the hood. Buyers get the same trusted performance of the i20, wrapped in a more aggressive package.
With this launch, Hyundai has once again shown that it knows how to keep its popular models fresh and exciting. Those interested can check booking details and specifications on the official Hyundai India website. The Knight Edition makes the i20 look sharper and more premium, setting it apart in the crowded hatchback market.
