What's Different on the Outside and Inside

The EXTER Knight gets a full black treatment on the exterior. The EXTER and Hyundai logos are finished in matte black up front and rear, and the bumper garnish switches to dark grey on both ends. The side sills follow the same dark grey treatment.
Depending on the variant, the car rides on either R15 black alloy wheels or R15 dark grey styled steel wheels, both paired with red brake calipers at the front. The red calipers are visible even from a distance and lend the EXTER Knight a more aggressive stance than the standard car. An exclusive Knight emblem rounds off the exterior changes.

From the rear, the H-shaped tail lamp signature reads clearly against the dark body, and looks particularly sharp in darker colour options like Titanium Black or Starry Night. A roof spoiler and roof rails are also visible on the car, carrying over from the standard EXTER.
Also, this edition is available in five colour options, including Titanium Black, Atlas White, Starry Night, Titan Grey and Golden Bronze.
On the inside, the cabin goes all-black as well, with brass accents at key touchpoints to break the monotony. Seating is finished in black semi-fabric upholstery. Amber footwell lighting and a black D-cut steering wheel are offered on select variants only.
Rivals
The Exter Knight closely competes with the Tata Punch, Nissan Magnite, Renault Kiger, and Citroën C3, matching the Exter’s class, size, and features for city-focused buyers seeking practical, affordable tall-boy crossovers.
