The Toyota Camry has long been the go-to choice for those who want reliable comfort with a touch of class. But with the 2026 Nightshade Edition, Toyota is flipping the script — and it’s gone full stealth mode.

Welcome to the darker, bolder side of the Camry. This isn’t just a trim. It’s a whole new attitude.

🌑 Nightshade Is Not Just a Color, It’s a Statement

Think of the Nightshade Edition as the Camry dressed for a black-tie gala… in tactical gear. Midnight Black accents dominate this trim — from the grille to the mirrors, door handles, and even the rear spoiler. Everything looks sharp, sleek, and aggressive.

And it’s not just skin deep. The blacked-out 19-inch wheels, gloss black badging, and sporty air diffusers bring a street-smart edge you won’t find on your average midsize sedan.

🗣️ “It’s designed for those who want something bold without shouting about it,” says one Toyota insider. “Think of it as quiet confidence on wheels.”

🚗 Available Powertrain: Hybrid, Because Cool Can Be Clean

Under the hood, the 2026 Camry Nightshade keeps it sustainable — but still spicy. It comes standard with Toyota’s proven hybrid powertrain, blending a 2.4L engine, electric motor, and lithium-ion battery.

Here’s the twist: you can choose between Front-Wheel Drive (FWD) or All-Wheel Drive (AWD) — and both pack a punch.

Drivetrain Power Output 0-60 (est.) Fuel Economy (MPG)
FWD 225 hp (168 kW) ~7.4 sec 46 city / 46 hwy
AWD 232 hp (173 kW) ~7.0 sec 46 city / 46 hwy

Yes, that’s 46 MPG across the board — even with AWD. Efficiency just got cooler.

🛠 Suspension That Means Business

Like the SE and XSE trims, the Nightshade Edition is equipped with a sport-tuned suspension and a beefier front stabilizer bar. Translation: sharper handling, better cornering, and a more responsive feel on the road.

So while it’s built for efficiency, it definitely knows how to have fun.

🖤 Inside the Nightshade: Sporty, Sharp, Subtle

Inside, Toyota continues the “dark luxury” theme with:

  • Black SofTex upholstery with contrasting white accents

  • Aluminum pedals for a racier touch

  • A leather-wrapped steering wheel with paddle shifters

  • 7" digital gauge cluster

  • 8" infotainment screen

  • Wireless phone charger

🗣️ “It feels more premium than you'd expect from a Camry,” noted one early reviewer. And we agree — this interior punches above its price tag.

🎨 New Color Choices & Exclusive Paint

The Nightshade’s dark accents contrast perfectly with:

  • Ice Cap White

  • Supersonic Red

  • Or the blackout-on-black combo: Midnight Black Metallic on black trim

In addition, Toyota has launched a new "Dark Cosmos" paint option (available for SE, XLE, and XSE) — a hazy, mysterious blue with major nighttime vibes.
