top-of-the-line luxury and security options as possible in the
Knight XV,” said Maizlin.
The company has also created a new, high-level security upgrade and
options platform for the Knight XV that includes a built-in oxygen

multiple armoring levels, under vehicle blast protection system and
a black box system.
