The Toyota Prius Nightshade Edition vehicle is the model's first foray into the brand's Nightshade range of finishes that will offer drivers with a demure option to choose. The hybrid vehicle model finish comes in FWD and AWD-e versions, which each come in three colors including Midnight Black Metallic, Silver Metallic and Super White. Each of the versions are finished with black headlight accents, door handles, mirror caps, a color-keyed rear deck spoiler and a shark fin antenna.
The Toyota Prius Nightshade Edition vehicle also comes with SofTex-trimmed seats standard, which are heated and power-adjustable for both the driver and the passenger. Drivers will also enjoy a heated steering wheel, a semi-gloss black center console and more. The vehicle model is expected to be available for purchase this fall.
