Following its second major quarantine update in September 2023, the Tata Nexon was recently unveiled in a striking dark edition. However, it is not the only one in the sub-4m SUV segment in India to receive the all-black treatment. In August 2023, the Hyundai Venue launched its 'Knight Edition', introducing the stylish all-black variant of the SUV. In this article, we will explore and compare the visual appeal of these special editions of the two popular SUVs.<\/p>\n
Tata Nexon Dark vs Hyundai Venue: Design <\/strong>The Nexon Dark, built on the facelifted model of the SUV, features a split LED headlamp setup and features black-treated chrome embellishments on the bumper. Additionally, the silver pickguard has been transformed into black, improving its overall aesthetic. Likewise, the front fascia of the Venue highlights a dark black finish on the grille and the \u201cHyundai\u201d logo. It features smoked-effect headlights, brass inserts in the bumper and a black skid plate, contributing to its distinctive appearance.<\/p>\n<\/figure>\nThe Tata SUV features 16-inch black alloy wheels, along with blacked-out ORVM housings and '#Dark' badges positioned on the front fenders.

To add to its appeal, the Hyundai SUV incorporates elegant brass accents in the bumper, enhancing its visual appeal.<\/p>\n
