This news report is based on V3Cars' Hyundai Exter Knight Edition Launched At Rs. 8.14 Lakh coverage.
Hyundai has launched the new Exter Knight Edition at a starting price of Rs. 8.14 lakh (ex-showroom). The special edition gets an all-black exterior and interior theme, along with brass accents, red brake calipers and exclusive Knight badging — positioning it as a sportier, more distinctive version of the B1-segment SUV rather than a mechanically different model.
2026 Hyundai Exter Knight Edition Prices
The Exter Knight is available in 4 variants, spanning petrol-manual, petrol-AMT and petrol-CNG powertrain options:
| Variant | Knight Edition Price | Difference vs Standard Dual-Tone |
|---|---|---|
| HX 6 Knight 1.2L Petrol-MT | Rs. 8,13,500 | Rs. 100 cheaper |
| HX 6 Knight 1.2L Petrol-AMT | Rs. 8,73,500 | Rs. 100 cheaper |
| HX 6 Knight 1.2L CNG-MT | Rs. 9,09,500 | Rs. 100 cheaper |
| HX 10 Knight 1.2L Petrol-AMT | Rs. 9,60,500 | Rs. 100 cheaper |
Notably, the Knight Edition actually costs Rs. 100 less than the standard dual-tone variants it's based on — a negligible difference in practice, but it confirms Hyundai isn't charging any real premium for the special-edition treatment.
What's New: Exterior
The Knight Edition brings a genuinely distinctive blacked-out theme to the Exter:
- Matte-black Hyundai and Exter logos, front and rear
- Dark grey front and rear bumper garnishes
- Dark grey side-sill garnish
- 15-inch black alloy wheels (HX 10 Knight only)
- 15-inch dark-grey styled steel wheels (lower variants)
- Red front brake calipers (top variant)
- Exclusive Knight emblem
What's New: Interior
The cabin gets an equally distinct treatment — an all-black theme with brass accents and exclusive black semi-fabric seat upholstery. The top HX10 Knight Edition additionally gets amber-coloured footwell lighting and a black D-cut steering wheel.
Engine & Gearbox Options
The Exter Knight is offered with Hyundai's 1.2-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine, paired with either a 5-speed manual or AMT gearbox. Hyundai also offers a factory-fitted CNG option with the same 1.2-litre engine, paired exclusively with the 5-speed manual.
Colour Options
The Exter Knight Edition is available in 5 exterior colours: Titanium Black, Atlas White, Starry Night, Titan Grey and Golden Bronze. Titanium Black is the natural pairing that reinforces the special edition's dark theme throughout, while the other four shades offer a deliberate contrast against the blacked-out exterior elements.
Why This Launch Matters
The Exter Knight Edition lands just one day after Toyota launched its own Urban Cruiser Hyryder Aero Black Edition (12 August 2026) — a similarly styled, blacked-out special edition — suggesting a broader industry trend of manufacturers using low-cost cosmetic editions to keep existing nameplates feeling fresh between full model updates, particularly in the compact SUV segment where competition for attention is fierce.
Final Word
The Exter Knight Edition is a low-risk way for Hyundai to give the Exter a more distinctive, sportier identity without touching the price or the proven 1.2-litre petrol/CNG powertrain underneath. At effectively the same price as the standard dual-tone variants, there's little reason for buyers drawn to the blacked-out look not to opt for the Knight Edition over the regular trim it's based on.
