The 2022 Toyota Prius has joined the Nightshade pack with a new special edition that features black trim and is available in Midnight Black Metallic, Silver Metallic or Super White exterior colors. The dark accents were applied to the headlamps, side mirror casings, door handles, deck spoiler and shark fin antenna. They can also be seen on the 15-inch alloy wheels equipping the AWD-e spec, or the 17-inch wheels offered on the FWD car.
Inside, customers will find SoftTex
upholstery, semi-gloss and chrome trim, electrically adjustable front seats
with heating for the driver, and a heated steering wheel. A 7-inch touchscreen
