Hyundai has introduced the Knight Edition of the 2026 Exter in India, with prices starting at Rs. 8.14 lakh, ex-showroom. The special edition carries a Rs. 15,000 premium over the corresponding standard Exter variants.
The Knight Edition brings a darker exterior appearance, a revised cabin colour scheme and exclusive styling details. Hyundai is offering it in four variants and five exterior colours, while the mechanical package remains unchanged.
Prices
The 2026 Hyundai Exter Knight Edition is available with the HX 6 and HX 10 variants. Buyers can choose between petrol manual, petrol AMT and CNG manual configurations, depending on the variant.
The special edition is priced Rs. 15,000 higher than the equivalent standard model. This makes the Knight Edition primarily a styling-focused upgrade rather than a major equipment or mechanical revision.
Design
The Knight Edition retains the overall design of the updated Exter but receives several dark-themed exterior elements.
The Hyundai and Exter badges at the front and rear are finished in matte black. The front and rear bumper garnishes and side sill garnish also receive dark grey finishes.
Select variants are equipped with black alloy wheels, while other versions get dark grey styled steel wheels. Red brake calipers on the front wheels add a contrasting detail to the darker exterior treatment.
A Knight emblem on the tailgate further distinguishes the special edition from the regular Exter.
Colours
Hyundai is offering the Exter Knight Edition in five exterior colour options. These include:
| Colour | Availability |
|---|---|
| Titanium Black | Available |
| Atlas White | Available |
| Starry Night | Available |
| Titan Grey | Available |
| Golden Bronze | Available |
The colour selection complements the darker design theme and gives buyers several options beyond the black-focused exterior treatment.
Interior
The cabin receives a more noticeable visual change than the standard model. Hyundai has given the Knight Edition an all-black interior theme with brass accents.
The seats feature exclusive black semi-fabric upholstery, adding to the darker appearance. Select variants also receive amber-coloured footwell lighting.
Another styling update is the black flat-bottom steering wheel, which adds a sportier touch to the cabin.
These changes are largely cosmetic, with the overall dashboard layout and main cabin features remaining familiar from the regular Exter.
Features
The Knight Edition does not introduce major equipment changes over the corresponding standard variants.
Depending on the version selected, the Exter continues to offer features including an eight-inch touchscreen infotainment system, automatic climate control with rear AC vents, a sunroof, rear parking camera and sensors, wireless phone charging and connected car technology.
This means buyers are primarily paying the additional premium for the Knight Edition’s styling and interior treatment rather than a substantially expanded feature list.
Engine
There are no mechanical changes for the Knight Edition.
The petrol variants continue to use Hyundai’s 1.2-litre petrol engine, which produces 83bhp and 114Nm of torque. The engine can be paired with either a five-speed manual transmission or a five-speed AMT.
The CNG version uses the same basic engine configuration but produces 69bhp and 95Nm. It is available exclusively with a five-speed manual gearbox.
The absence of mechanical changes means the Knight Edition retains the same powertrain characteristics as the corresponding standard Exter variants.
Variants
Hyundai is offering the Exter Knight Edition in four configurations:
- HX 6 petrol manual
- HX 6 petrol AMT
- HX 6 CNG manual
- HX 10 petrol AMT
This gives buyers a choice between conventional petrol, automated manual and CNG powertrains, although the CNG option remains limited to a manual transmission.
The 2026 Exter Knight Edition is the second version of the special edition that Hyundai has offered for the compact SUV. The earlier Exter Knight Edition was introduced in 2024.
With the new edition, Hyundai has focused on visual differentiation rather than changes to the engine, transmission or core equipment. The Rs. 8.14 lakh starting price places the Knight Edition slightly above the standard variants, while the matte-black exterior elements, dark cabin, brass accents and exclusive details provide the main reasons to choose it.
