Toyota adds a Nightshade Edition to the 2025 Prius lineup, but this one shuns the traditionally monochromatic color scheme.

The Toyota Prius had one of the biggest glow-ups in its fifth iteration, enough for it to bag an accolade from us here at CarBuzz in 2023. It stayed mostly the same last year but now, the Japanese marque is giving its award-winning hybrid model an update for the 2025MY, with a proper addition to back up its sleek styling - a new Nightshade trim.

Toyota has updated the Prius for 2025, adding a new trim level known as the Nightshade and increasing prices across the range. Mechanically, the Prius remains identical to the outgoing version, meaning it’ll continue to deliver the same level of efficiency that has made Toyota’s hybrid such an icon.

The 2025 Toyota Prius continues unchanged except for a new Nightshade grade and a small price increase.

The Toyota Prius 2025 has an initial price of $29,485 for the LE version, which is a $400 increase compared to the previous year’s model. Prices rise depending on the version, with the top-of-the-line Limited starting at $36,
