Yahoo Autos 2022 Prius becomes the 11th Toyota to get the Nightshade treatment
Toyota's surprisingly popular Nightshade appearance package has spread to a hybrid model for the first time. It will be available on the front- and all-wheel-drive variants of the Prius starting with the 2022 model year.
Unlike the weed it shares its name with, the Nightshade does not cause sweating, abdominal pain or drowsiness. Instead, it adds black paint on the exterior trim pieces, on the wheels and on the emblems, though the Toyota logo in the grille keeps its blue accents (lest you forget the Prius is a hybrid). The headlights get black inserts, too.
Buyers seeking the full blacked-out look can order the Prius Nightshade in Midnight Black Metallic (pictured). Toyota also makes Super White and Silver Metallic available. Front-wheel-drive models ride on 17-inch wheels, while all-wheel-drive variants downsize to 15-inch alloys. Black lug nuts are fitted regardless of drivetrain configuration.
