With prices ranging from Rs 10 lakh to Rs 13.48 lakh, the Venue Knight Edition comes at a premium of up to Rs 33,000 over the corresponding variants. 

Notable enhancements include the black treatment for elements like the grille, logo, roof rails, ORVMs (Outside Rear View Mirrors), skid plates, and alloy wheels. Moreover, brass inserts grace the front and rear bumpers, front wheels, and roof rails, while the front brake calipers are adorned with a bold red colour, adding a tinge of sportiness. 

There’s the exclusive 'Knight' emblem and dark chrome treatment for the ‘Hyundai’ and ‘Venue’ logo. The S (O) variant, although lacking alloy wheels, features black wheel covers that dial up the stealth.

The Venue Knight Edition offers a palette of four single-tone shades and one dual-tone option - Abyss Black, Atlas White, Titan Gray, Fiery Red, and a dual-tone Fiery Red with Abyss Black roof. 

Inside, the dual-tone interior takes a back seat, giving way to a comprehensive all-black theme. Brass-coloured inserts are fused throughout the cabin, even on the black seat upholstery. To elevate the sporty and premium ambiance, the pedals sport a stylish metallic finish, and the 3D designer mats complete the look.

In terms of features, the Venue Knight Edition gains the dual-camera dashcam from the Venue N Line. Additionally, the S(O) MT variant benefits from an auto-dimming IRVM (Inside Rear View Mirror) previously seen only on the SX variant.

Among the Venue's existing features, the sunroof, 8-inch touchscreen system, wireless charging, up to six airbags, tyre pressure monitoring system, and rear parking camera remain on board.

The Knight Edition offers a choice between the existing 83PS 1.2-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine and the 120PS 1-litre turbo-petrol engine. The former is coupled with a 5-speed manual transmission. The Venue's turbo-petrol engine also gets a 6-speed manual transmission instead of the iMT (Intelligent Manual Transmission) setup offered in the regular variants. You can also pick it up with a 7-speed DCT (Dual Clutch Transmission). Notably, the 116PS 1.5-litre diesel engine with manual transmission, available in the standard Venue, is not offered in the Knight Edition.

The Hyundai Venue competes with formidable rivals such as the Kia Sonet, Mahindra XUV300, Tata Nexon, Maruti Suzuki Brezza, Renault Kiger, Nissan Magnite, and Maruti Fronx. The Venue Knight Edition, meanwhile, faces off against the likes of the Dark variants of the Tata Nexon, and the Kia Sonet X-Line.
