  • Alloy wheels painted in black with striking red brake calipers

Inside, the cabin follows the same design philosophy with:

  • All-black upholstery

  • Brass-colored accents across the dashboard and door trims

  • Black leatherette seats with brass highlights

  • Metal finish pedals for a sporty look

This styling approach gives the Knight Editions a unique presence compared to standard variants.
