Hyundai has reintroduced the Knight Edition for the 2026 Exter. It is priced at ₹8.14 lakh (ex-showroom), which is a ₹15,000 premium over the equivalent variant it is based on. This is the second time this dark-themed special edition has appeared on the micro SUV since its 2024 debut.

Hyundai’s Exter Knight Edition: Key Features & Specifications
Visually, the Exter Knight brings in matte black brand and variant badging and dark gray bumper and side sill garnishes. Depending on the variant you’re choosing, you’ll get either black alloy wheels or dark grey steel wheels, with red brake calipers adding contrast up front.

Inside, the cabin gets an all-black theme with brass accents, along with familiar black semi-fabric seat upholstery, and the new flat-bottom steering wheel introduced with the 2026 Hyundai Exter. Additional features include amber footwell lighting on select trims.
Mechanically, nothing changes, though. The Exter Knight continues with Hyundai’s 1.2-liter petrol engine producing 83bhp and 114Nm, paired with either a 5-speed manual or 5-speed AMT. On the other hand, the CNG variant makes 69bhp and 95Nm exclusively with the manual gearbox.
