Hyundai is turning up the heat with its popular models by launching new Knight Editions of the Creta Electric, Alcazar, and i20, following the success of similar editions for the ICE-powered Creta, Venue, and Exter. These special variants come with a blacked-out theme, red highlights, subtle cosmetic upgrades, and a slight price increase. Plus, some variants also get new feature additions, making them more tech-loaded and appealing for young buyers.
Let’s break down what’s new in each model and how much more you’ll pay for the Knight treatment.
Creta
The Hyundai Creta Electric was recently updated with new variants, increased range for both battery options (42 kWh and 51.4 kWh), and tech upgrades like wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, plus a dashcam. Now, it gets the Knight Edition treatment for even more street presence.
What’s different in the Knight Edition?
- All-black alloy wheels
- Red brake calipers
- Matte black Hyundai logos
- Black roof spoiler and skid plates
- Brass-colored interior inserts and seat accents
- Knight Edition badging
- Metal pedals
This version is based on the Excellence variant and is available with both battery options. Here’s how the prices compare:
Variant | Knight Edition Price | Regular Price | Difference |
---|---|---|---|
Excellence 42 kWh | Rs 21.45 lakh | Rs 21.30 lakh | + Rs 15,000 |
42 kWh + Home Charger | Rs 22.18 lakh | Rs 22.03 lakh | + Rs 15,000 |
Excellence 51.4 kWh | Rs 23.82 lakh | Rs 23.50 lakh | + Rs 32,000 |
51.4 kWh + Home Charger | Rs 24.55 lakh | Rs 24.23 lakh | + Rs 32,000 |
The cosmetic upgrades cost you anywhere between Rs 15,000 and Rs 32,000 more, depending on the variant.
Alcazar
The Hyundai Alcazar Knight Edition is based on the 7-seater Signature trim. Like the Creta Electric Knight, it carries the same exterior and interior enhancements, including the blacked-out theme and brass interior accents.
New to both the Knight Edition and regular Signature variant is a dashcam, available on both 6- and 7-seater versions.
Here’s how the prices stack up:
Variant | Knight Edition Price | Regular Price | Difference |
---|---|---|---|
Signature 1.5L Turbo Petrol DCT (7-seater) | Rs 21.66 lakh | Rs 21.51 lakh | + Rs 15,000 |
Signature 1.5L Diesel AT (7-seater) | Rs 21.66 lakh | Rs 21.51 lakh | + Rs 15,000 |
So, for Rs 15,000 more, you get an upgraded look and a bit of exclusivity.
i20
The Hyundai i20 Knight Edition keeps the same formula—black-themed styling with red accents and brass-colored interiors. It is available in two higher trims: Sportz (O) MT and Asta (O) CVT.
Here’s what you’ll pay:
Variant | Knight Edition Price | Regular Price | Difference |
---|---|---|---|
Sportz (O) MT | Rs 9.15 lakh | Rs 9.05 lakh | + Rs 10,000 |
Asta (O) CVT | Rs 11.35 lakh | Rs 11.25 lakh | + Rs 10,000 |
Besides the new edition, even the standard i20 has received new features like a dashcam, wireless Android Auto/Apple CarPlay, and a roof spoiler. These upgrades make the car more appealing for tech-savvy buyers. The i20 N Line also gets feature updates but doesn’t get a Knight Edition.
Rivals
Here’s what these Hyundai models are up against:
- Creta Electric: Mahindra BE.06, Tata Curvv EV, MG ZS EV
- Alcazar: Tata Safari, Mahindra XUV700, Scorpio N, MG Hector Plus
- i20 / i20 N Line: Maruti Baleno, Toyota Glanza, Tata Altroz
If you’re someone who values unique styling and wants a slightly meaner look, the Knight Editions add flair without changing the core DNA of the vehicles. Sure, the added price is modest, but for the style-conscious, it might just be worth it.
