Toyota Camry Gets a Sporty Makeover with the 2026 Nightshade Edition
The Toyota Camry, which underwent a complete transformation with its ninth-generation model last year, is getting an exciting update in 2026 with the introduction of the Nightshade Edition.
While there are no changes to the engine or interior, the Nightshade version promises to make this mid-size sedan stand out with its sporty and bold design aesthetic.
In fact, Nightshade is not a new concept for Toyota globally, as this package has already been offered on popular models such as the Prius, RAV4, and Grand Highlander. The common denominator is a host of exterior details finished in glossy black, complemented by exclusive black alloy wheels that accentuate the vehicle’s athletic character.
The Camry Nightshade 2026 follows this successful formula. It features striking 19-inch black alloy wheels and an array of Midnight Black Metallic accents, including the front grille, lower front bumper, door handles, side mirrors, shark fin antenna, rear diffuser, and spoiler. Even the Toyota logo and badges have been darkened, resulting in a more assertive and captivating presence compared to the standard Camry models.
Toyota is offering the Camry Nightshade in three exterior colors: Ice Cap White, Supersonic Red, and Midnight Black. For those seeking a more neutral option, a new Dark Cosmos blue color is available, although it is exclusive to the standard SE, XLE, and XSE trims and not offered on the Nightshade.
The entire 2026 Camry lineup, including the Nightshade, continues to be powered by a hybrid powertrain that combines a 2.5-liter gasoline engine with an electric motor, delivering a total output of 225 horsepower in the front-wheel-drive (FWD) configuration and 232 horsepower in the all-wheel-drive (AWD) variant.
The hybrid system not only enhances the Camry’s fuel efficiency but also contributes to its competitive pricing. The Nightshade Edition is expected to be priced around $1,000 higher than the SE trim, slotting between the SE and XLE in the model range.
Although Toyota has not disclosed the exact pricing for the 2026 Camry, they have confirmed that the vehicles will be available at dealerships across the US this summer. With its focus on aesthetic enhancements, the Nightshade Edition is ideal for younger customers who desire a personalized touch while still benefiting from the renowned efficiency and reliability that the Camry is known for.
