Hyundai Exter Knight Launched With Blacked-Out Styling And AMT

Hyundai Exter Knight Launches With Distinctive Black Theme

Hyundai Motor India has launched the Hyundai Exter Knight, a black-themed version of its compact SUV featuring distinctive exterior and interior styling updates. The Knight range has crossed more than 1 lakh cumulative sales since its introduction in 2022. The new version builds on the Exter's existing design with dark exterior elements, Knight-specific detailing and an all-black cabin theme. The launch expands the model's styling-focused appeal while retaining multiple powertrain and transmission choices. The Exter Knight is offered in HX 6 and HX 10 variants, with petrol-manual, petrol-AMT and petrol-CNG manual configurations available to customers.

Blacked-Out Exterior Gets Knight-Specific Design Elements

The Hyundai Exter Knight receives several exterior changes designed around its black-themed character. The SUV features a matte-black Exter logo and Hyundai logo at both the front and rear, alongside dark-grey bumper and side-sill garnishes. An exclusive Knight emblem further distinguishes the special version from the standard Exter. Depending on the variant, buyers can choose R15 black alloy wheels or dark-grey styled steel wheels, while red front brake callipers provide an additional contrasting detail. These elements give the compact SUV a more distinctive appearance without changing its core exterior proportions or vehicle architecture.

All-Black Interior And Multiple Powertrain Choices

Inside, the Exter Knight adopts an all-black cabin with brass accents, black semi-fabric seat upholstery and amber-colour footwell lighting. A black D-cut steering wheel is also available on select variants, reinforcing the darker interior theme. The SUV continues to use Hyundai Motor India's 1.2-litre, four-cylinder Kappa petrol engine. Customers can choose between a five-speed manual gearbox and an automated manual transmission, while a bi-fuel petrol-CNG configuration is offered with a five-speed manual transmission. This powertrain mix gives the Knight version flexibility across conventional petrol and CNG requirements.
