The Toyota Camry, after its comprehensive “makeover” to the 9th generation last year, continues to be refreshed in 2026 with the Nightshade Edition.
Although there are no changes to the engine or interior equipment, the Nightshade version promises to make this D-segment sedan stand out with its sporty and distinctive design.
In reality, Nightshade is not a new name for global Toyota users, as this package has appeared on various models such as the Prius, RAV4, and Grand Highlander. The common identifying feature is a series of exterior details finished in glossy black, combined with uniquely designed rims for a sportier look.
The 2026 Camry Nightshade follows the same formula. It features 19-inch black-painted five-spoke rims and several Midnight Black Metallic-finished elements, including the grille, front bumper air intake, door handles, side mirrors, shark fin antenna, rear diffuser, and spoiler. The Toyota logo and emblem are also turned black, creating a much bolder and more attractive overall appearance compared to the standard Camry models.
Toyota offers the Camry Nightshade in three exterior colors: Ice Cap white, Supersonic Red, and Midnight Black. For a more neutral color, customers can opt for a new blue shade called Dark Cosmos, which is exclusive to the SE, XLE, and XSE trims and not available on the Nightshade.
The entire 2026 Camry lineup, including the Nightshade, continues to be equipped with a hybrid powertrain that combines a 2.5L gasoline engine with an electric motor, producing a total of 225 horsepower in the front-wheel-drive (FWD) version and 232 horsepower in the all-wheel-drive (AWD) variant.
The hybrid powertrain not only makes the Camry stand out in terms of fuel efficiency but also contributes to its competitive pricing. The Nightshade Edition is expected to be priced slightly higher than the SE trim, approximately 1,000 USD (over 26 million VND) more, positioning it between the SE and XLE in the product range.
While Toyota has not announced the exact pricing for the 2026 Camry, they have confirmed that the vehicle will be available at US dealerships this summer. With enhancements focused on aesthetics, the Nightshade Edition is ideal for younger customers who appreciate personalization while retaining the Camry’s renowned efficiency and reliability.
