Explore The New Features Of The 2025 Toyota Prius Nightshade Grade With Enhanced Performance
The 2025 Toyota Prius introduces a new Nightshade grade, enhancing its lineup with a distinctive look. This variant, based on the XLE model, features 19-inch black alloy wheels and black exterior accents, including badging and door handles. The Nightshade grade also offers an exclusive Karashi colour option, alongside Midnight Black Metallic and Wind Chill Pearl. These elements contribute to a sleek, moody aesthetic for the sedan.
Under the hood, the 2025 Prius is powered by Toyota's fifth-generation hybrid system paired with a 2.0L engine. This setup delivers up to 196 net-combined horsepower in models equipped with Electronic On-Demand All-Wheel Drive (AWD). The hybrid system ensures excellent fuel efficiency, achieving an EPA-estimated rating of up to 57 MPG combined. The AWD models offer slightly less at an estimated 54 MPG combined.
The Prius' hybrid system combines a M20A-FXS inline four-cylinder engine with two motor-generators through a continuously variable transmission. This configuration supports efficient energy use and responsive performance. The vehicle achieves engaging acceleration with 194 combined horsepower and can reach 0-60 mph in approximately 7.2 seconds for front-wheel-drive models.
The 2025 Prius comes equipped with advanced technology features across all grades. An 8-inch Toyota Audio Multimedia screen is standard on LE and XLE grades, while Nightshade and Limited grades boast a larger 12.3-inch screen. The multimedia system offers enhanced connectivity options, including Over-the-Air updates and voice activation controls through phrases like "Hey Toyota."
For those seeking additional convenience, the Drive Connect service provides Intelligent Assistant, Cloud Navigation, and Destination Assist features. These allow drivers to access real-time navigation data and Points of Interest using Google’s database. Dual Bluetooth connectivity supports wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility.
