Nightshade Models

Toyota Went Dark: Meet the 7 Nightshade Models You Can Get Right Now

Toyota's Nightshade lineup has gotten surprisingly big. There are now seven Nightshade models spanning sedans, hybrids, a plug-in hybrid, SUVs, and a full-size pickup, each taking Toyota's familiar designs in a darker direction with blacked-out trim, unique wheels, dark badging, and model-specific details. At Fiore Toyota i n Hollidaysburg, we like that Nightshade doesn't limit you to one particular kind of Toyota. You can get the look on a Camry, take it electric for part of your drive in a Prius Plug-in Hybrid, bring three rows along in a Grand Highlander Hybrid, or put it on something as substantial as a Tundra or Sequoia. If one catches your eye, browse our New Toyota Inventory to see what's currently available, request a Quick Quote, or use KBB Value Your Trade to see what your current vehicle could contribute toward the switch. 2026 Toyota Camry Nightshade: The Everyday Sedan Gets Meaner The Camry might be one of the most familiar names in Toyota's lineup, but the 2026 Nightshade doesn't look particularly interested in blending in. Its 19-inch satin-black alloy wheels are joined by a gloss-black sport mesh grille, black air curtains, front side canards, and a black rear spoiler. Inside, SofTex and black mixed-media-trimmed seating continues the darker treatment without turning the cabin into a costume. And underneath all of that styling, it's still a Camry. The Nightshade is rated at an estimated 47 city/45 highway MPG, so the visual changes don't require giving up the efficiency that makes the current Camry such an appealing everyday car. 2027 Prius Nightshade: Yes, Even the Prius Looks Good in Black Today's Prius already looks dramatically different from the generations that made the name synonymous with sensible hybrid transportation. Nightshade pushes it a little further. The 2027 Prius Nightshade gets 19-inch black-finished alloy wheels, dark exterior details, and an interior with black SofTex-trimmed front seats and contrasting gray stitching. Those front seats include an eight-way power-adjustable driver's seat, while Qi-compatible wireless charging is also included. Toyota estimates the Nightshade at 52 MPG city and highway, so this is still very much the Prius people come looking for when fuel economy matters. It just happens to arrive wearing considerably more black. Drivers comparing Toyota's electrified options can browse our Hybrid and Electrified Toyota Inventory to see which models are currently available in Hollidaysburg. 2027 Prius Plug-In Hybrid Nightshade: Same Idea, With a Plug If you like what Toyota did with the Prius Nightshade but want plug-in hybrid capability, there's another version waiting. The 2027 Prius Plug-in Hybrid Nightshade pairs 19-inch black-finished alloy wheels with black badging and the Prius' low, sleek profile. Inside you'll find black SofTex-trimmed front seats with gray stitching, an eight-way power-adjustable driver's seat, and Qi-compatible wireless charging. Toyota lists an estimated 48 MPG/114 MPGe combined rating for the Nightshade, giving drivers another way into this styling without leaving efficiency behind. 2026 Toyota Crown Nightshade: Black and Tan Works Ridiculously Well Here The Toyota Crown was already an unusual one. Its elevated sedan profile doesn't neatly fit into the traditional sedan or crossover box, and the Nightshade treatment leans into that distinction with enormous 21-inch 10-spoke matte-black wheels, black mirror caps, and dark exterior badging. There's also a panoramic fixed-glass roof with a power sunshade, adding another upscale detail to a Toyota that already sits at the more premium end of the lineup. This might be the Nightshade to look at if you want something that's difficult to mistake for anything else in the parking lot. 2026 Grand Highlander Hybrid Nightshade: Three Rows Without the Chrome A family SUV doesn't have to be covered in brightwork. The 2026 Grand Highlander Hybrid Nightshade replaces much of it with black, including the front bumper trim, mirror caps, door handles, shark-fin antenna, and 20-inch alloy wheels. All-Wheel Drive is included, and Toyota estimates fuel economy at 36 MPG city and 32 MPG highway. You still get the three-row layout and everyday flexibility that make the Grand Highlander useful for families, just with an exterior that takes a much darker approach than the typical family hauler. Before deciding on your next Toyota, it's also worth checking our New Vehicle Specials to compare current opportunities across the lineup. 2026 Toyota Tundra Nightshade: This One Was Almost Too Obvious Of course Nightshade works on the Tundra. The 2026 Tundra Nightshade rolls on 20-inch matte-black alloy wheels and carries the treatment across its exterior with blacked-out mirror caps, trim, and badging. On a full-size truck with the Tundra's proportions, those aren't exactly subtle details. For drivers around Hollidaysburg who need truck capability but would rather skip the chrome-heavy look traditionally associated with full-size pickups, this is probably one of the easiest Nightshade models to understand at first glance. And if you're replacing an existing truck, SUV, or car, you can get a KBB Trade-In Value online before coming in. 2026 Toyota Sequoia Nightshade: Go All the Way Then there's the biggest member of the group. The 2026 Sequoia Nightshade brings the same formula to Toyota's full-size SUV, including 20-inch matte-black alloy wheels, blacked-out exterior trim and mirror caps, and black badging. The size of the Sequoia gives all of those dark details a lot of sheet metal to work with. If you need the space and capability of a full-size SUV and already know you'd rather have black wheels and trim than chrome, Toyota has essentially checked the boxes for you at the factory. Which Toyota Nightshade Would You Pick? That's what makes this lineup more interesting than a single appearance package on a single model. Toyota has spread Nightshade across vehicles that serve completely different purposes. Camry gives you an efficient everyday sedan. Prius and Prius Plug-in Hybrid take the look into two different kinds of electrified driving. Toyota Crown does something altogether less conventional. Grand Highlander Hybrid brings three rows, while Tundra and Sequoia take Nightshade into Toyota's largest vehicles. You don't have to choose Nightshade first and figure out which vehicle comes with it. You can choose the Toyota that fits your life and see if there's a darker version waiting. Explore our New Toyota Inventory at Fiore Toyota, check our current New Vehicle Specials, or start shopping through Fiore Direct Buy from home. If you're considering a pre-owned option instead, our Vehicles Under $20K inventory gives you another price point to explore. Fiore Toyota is located at 1000 S Logan Boulevard in Hollidaysburg, PA, where our team can help you find the Toyota that fits both what you need and what you actually want to see sitting in the driveway.

2027 Toyota Highlander EV

Family Seating, Plus 320 Miles of Range. We’re Excited About the 2027 Toyota Highlander

The Toyota Highlander has spent years earning a place in driveways across Pennsylvania. It has carried growing families, handled long road trips, swallowed up luggage, sports equipment, and grocery runs, and built a reputation as a vehicle people tend to keep for a long time. Now Toyota is taking that familiar formula in a completely new direction. The all-new 2027 Toyota Highlander takes one of Toyota's most recognizable family nameplates and moves it into an all-electric future. With seating for up to seven, available second-row captain's chairs, up to 320 miles of manufacturer-estimated range on select AWD models, and room for a family's daily chaos, it's already shaping up to be one of the most talked-about upcoming Toyota SUVs. We're keeping an eye on the 2027 Toyota Highlander here at Fiore Toyota. Toyota Didn't Shrink the Highlander to Make It Electric One of the most interesting things about the new Highlander is what Toyota chose not to do. The move to electric power could have resulted in a smaller vehicle with less flexibility. Instead, Toyota appears to have preserved the qualities that made Highlander popular in the first place. Three rows remain. Seating for up to seven remains. Cargo space remains a priority. The result feels less like a replacement and more like the next chapter of a vehicle families already know. Seven Seats Create Options Life has a way of filling every available seat. Friends join dinner plans. Relatives come along for the weekend. Carpools grow larger than expected. A five-seat vehicle works until it suddenly doesn't. The 2027 Highlander offers seating for up to seven passengers, along with available second-row captain's chairs or available bench seating depending on how owners prefer to configure the cabin. One-touch power-fold access helps simplify entry to the third row, making the space easier to use when plans change at the last minute. The Cargo Area Looks Ready for Real Life Family vehicles rarely spend their lives carrying only passengers. The Highlander offers 15.9 cubic feet of cargo space behind the third row, creating room for luggage, backpacks, sports gear, shopping bags, and the collection of everyday items that somehow seem to multiply over time. When larger cargo enters the picture, folding both rear rows opens access to up to 80 cubic feet of available space. That flexibility allows the Highlander to adapt as quickly as schedules do. The Interior Focuses on the Details People Notice Every Day Some features make headlines. Others simply make daily life easier. The new Highlander offers USB charging ports throughout all three rows, available dual wireless charging pads in the front console, Digital Key capability, and an available 14-inch multimedia touchscreen featuring Toyota's latest Audio Multimedia system with wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility. None of those features exist to impress someone during a five-minute walkaround. They exist because they make the vehicle easier to live with every day. The Panoramic Roof Changes the Entire Cabin Space is about more than measurements. The available panoramic roof stretches above all three rows and helps create an open, airy feeling throughout the cabin. Combined with available ambient lighting and front acoustic glass, the interior feels designed to make long drives more enjoyable for everyone on board. It is the kind of feature that changes how a vehicle feels without requiring anyone to think about it. 320 Miles of Range Gives Families More Freedom The 2027 Highlander is expected to offer up to 320 miles of manufacturer-estimated range on select XLE AWD and Limited AWD models equipped with the 95.8-kWh battery. For many families, that number matters because it allows the vehicle to fit naturally into everyday routines. Commutes, errands, school schedules, weekend plans, and longer drives all become easier when range is less likely to dominate the conversation. Toyota is also designing the Highlander with vehicle-to-home and vehicle-to-grid capabilities, along with fast Level 2 charging support, helping make electric ownership more approachable than ever. Families Have Been Waiting for a Vehicle Like This The shift toward electric vehicles has created plenty of exciting options, but larger family-focused EVs remain relatively uncommon. That's part of what makes the 2027 Highlander so interesting. Toyota is taking one of its most established family vehicles and giving it an all-electric future without abandoning the space, versatility, and flexibility that made people trust the Highlander name in the first place. Drivers interested in learning more about the upcoming 2027 Toyota Highlander can stay connected with the team at Fiore Toyota in Hollidaysburg as additional details become available. The Highlander has always been built around the idea that family life rarely stays predictable. The all-electric version appears ready for exactly the same challenge.
