vehicle specifications

The KNIGHT-XV is an armoured vehicle and not a vehicle that has been uparmoured. This means that unlike most vehicles that are uparmoured after-market, the KNIGHT XV is manufactured as an armoured vehicle from the ground up using top-grade armouring materials.

With its distinct size, extraordinary security features and ultra-luxurious interior appointments, the KNIGHT XV provides one of the most unique vehicle ownership experiences in today's SUV marketplace.

The innovative and incomparable KNIGHT XV takes approximately 1,500 hours to hand build with precision craftsmanship and attention to detail that one can expect from a vehicle of this caliber.
