Hyundai Venue Knight Edition: what’s new
No mechanical changes made to the Venue Knight version, only cosmetic changes with additional features. On the outside, the Hyundai Venue gets blacked-out elements including the front grille, roof rails, alloy wheels, wing mirrors, and even front and rear skid plates. To make the paint scheme stand out, the company also added brass-colored elements on inserts such as the bumpers, alloy wheels, and roof rails with red front calipers. Logos all over the car are given the 'dark chrome' treatment and the car gets a knight emblem, like the one on the same Creta edition.
The Knight Edition of the Venue is available with four monochrome colors: black, white, grey and red. Also on offer is a dual-tone paint option of red and black.
Inside, the theme continues with all-black upholstery and brass highlights. A dashcam and auto-dimming rearview mirror were new additions to the Venue. The dual-camera dashcam is making its appearance on the Venue again, after being introduced with the N-line version of the Venue. Another feature offered is the auto-dimming rearview mirror.
