Hyundai Launches Venue Knight Edition with 23 Unique Features

Hyundai Motor India Limited (HMIL) has launched a new variant of its popular compact SUV, the Venue Knight Edition. The new variant is based on the top-spec S (O), SX, and SX (O) trims and comes with 23 unique features that enhance its design, performance, and convenience.

The Venue Knight Edition is priced from Rs 9.99 lakh to Rs 13.48 lakh (ex-showroom) and is available in four monotone and one dual-tone colour options.

The Venue Knight Edition is the second model after the Creta SUV to get this special edition. The main highlight of the new variant is the black theme that dominates the exterior and interior of the SUV. The front grille, Hyundai logo, roof rails, shark-fin antenna, outside rear-view mirrors (ORVMs), alloy wheels or wheel covers, and skid plates are all painted in black, creating a bold and sporty look.
