2022 Toyota Prius Nightshade Edition: For the Eco-Friendly Sith Lord

Not one to miss out on the blacked-out special-edition trend, the 2022 Toyota Prius Nightshade Edition becomes the 11th Toyota model to infiltrate the market in dark guise. It is the first hybrid model in the Toyota lineup to get the bold Nightshade styling treatment, too.

The Nightshade appearance package adds blacked-out wheels, headlight accents, mirror caps, door handles, and badges. The special edition package is available on standard front-wheel-drive or AWD-e Prius grades with a choice of three exterior colors: Midnight Black Metallic, Super White, and Silver Metallica. Front-drive models ride on 17-inch wheels, while the all-wheel-drive Prius sits on teeny 15-inch wheels.











A 1.8-liter naturally aspirated four-cylinder coupled with two electric motors propel America’s top-selling hybrid that everyone loves to hate. The Prius AWD-e has an EPA-estimated 51 mpg city, 47 mpg highway, and 49 mpg combined, whereas the front-drive Prius improves fuel economy to an EPA-rated 54/50/52 mpg.

Standard equipment on the Nightshade Edition includes a 7.0-inch touchscreen, a six-speaker JBL sound system, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Additional tech features consist of Alexa compatibility, a wireless phone charger, an integrated backup camera system, advanced voice recognition, and Siri Eyes Free. Customers receive a one-year complimentary subscription to Toyota Safety Connect and a 10-year Service Connect trial.

The sportier-looking (but no more sporty) Nightshade Edition comes equipped with Toyota Safety Sense 2.0 and the Star Safety system. Safety features include bicyclist detection, lane departure alert, a blind-spot monitor with rear cross-traffic alert, a pre-collision system with low-light pedestrian detection, and intelligent parking assistance.

Now in its fourth generation and 6 million strong in sales worldwide since debuting in 1997, the outfitted fuel-efficient hatchback is sure to attract more haters in the fast lane. The 2022 Toyota Prius Nightshade Edition arrives this fall, and pricing should be released right before then.
