Hyundai Venue Knight Edition: All you need to know
Sports blacked-out alloys, black roof rails, black bumpers and black badges
Like the manufacturer’s other Knight Edition offerings, the Venue Knight Edition features the same design as the regular model. However, it gets blacked-out 16-inch alloy wheels with contrasting red brake callipers and black roof rails. The front and rear bumpers, which have a contrasting silver finish on the regular Venue, have an all-black theme on the Knight Edition for a stealthier look.
The Hyundai badges at the front and rear also get a matte black finish, and a ‘Knight Edition’ emblem is affixed on the tailgate to differentiate it from the regular model. Other than this, it continues with the same lighting elements as the regular Hyundai Venue.
The regular Hyundai Venue is offered in two new exterior hues: Hazel Blue Matte and Mystic Sapphire Matte.
Features an all-black cabin with some contrasting brass inserts
Like the exterior, the interior design is also identical to the standard Venue; however, a new all-black theme replaces the Navy Blue and grey hue in the Knight Edition. To add some contrast, Hyundai has added some brass-coloured elements inside, which are present on the steering wheel and climate control buttons, as well as on the AC vents. The stitches on the leatherette upholstery of the steering wheel and seats are also brass coloured. The gear shifter also gets a brass-coloured kink on it.
The Venue Knight Edition’s feature suite is identical, including dual 12.3-inch screens (one for the infotainment and another for the instrumentation), automatic climate control with rear vents, a single-pane sunroof and a wireless phone charger. Safety features include 6 airbags (as standard), a rear camera, an ADAS suite, an electronic parking brake and disc brakes on all wheels.
Hyundai Venue Knight Edition: Powertrain options
Offered with all three engine options as the standard Venue
The Hyundai Venue Knight Edition is offered with the same 83hp, 1.2-litre naturally aspirated petrol, a 120hp, 1.0-litre turbo-petrol and a 116hp, 1.5-litre diesel engine. However, the petrol is offered with a manual gearbox, the turbo-petrol engine is offered with a DCT, while the diesel engine is offered with both manual and automatic transmissions.
