First introduced to the world in 1997, the Toyota Prius was the world's first mass production hybrid car. Since then, Toyota has sold more than 6 million Prius vehicles worldwide and more than 1.9 million in the Ú.S. Offered in the L Eco, LE, LE AWD-e, XLE, XLE AWD-e and Limited grades, the Prius Nightshade Special Edition rounds out a diverse family of sleek, sporty, and well-equipped options for customers.For 2022, the Prius Nightshade special edition brings unexpectedly bold style to the storied, fuel efficient family. Powered by a combination of a high-efficiency 1.8-liter four-cylinder Atkinson-cycle gasoline engine and two motor-generators through an electronically controlled planetary-type continuously variable transmission (CVT), Prius Nightshade comes in both AWD-e and FWD models.Recognized as the industry's most fuel-efficient internal combustion AWD-e model, based on Ú.S. Department of Energy data as of March 11, 2021, excluding all-electric vehicles, the Prius AWD-e is rated at an EPA estimated 51 city/47 highway/49 combined MPG. The AWD-e system provides the power to the rear wheels to confidently pull away from a stop, yet the on-demand system recognizes when all-wheel-drive performance is not needed to provide great fuel economy.The Nightshade edition is also available in front-wheel-drive (FWD) which is EPA estimated at 54 city/50 highway/52 combined MPG.Form and Function Inside
The Prius' iconic shape pushes the boundaries of interior space to the point that the EPA classifies it as a midsize car. Thanks to its unique liftback design, the Prius' front-wheel drive model offers 50.7 cu. ft. of cargo space with the rear seatbacks folded down, which is more than in some small SÚVs.
Prius Nightshade edition brings sleek, sporty style and loads of safety tech.It's equipped with Toyota's Star Safety system, which includes Enhanced Vehicle Stability Control (VSC), Traction Control (TRAC), Anti-lock Brake System (ABS), Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD), Brake Assist (BA) and Smart Stop Technology (SST).It also comes with Toyota Safety Sense 2.0 (TSS-2.0) standard with features that include:
