The 2025 Toyota Prius gets a mysterious makeover with the introduction of the Nightshade Edition. This new trim adds an air of sophistication and stealth to the already-efficient hybrid sedan. With its sleek black exterior, sporty wheels, and aggressive front grille, the Nightshade Prius is sure to turn heads on the road.

The 2025 Toyota Prius remains unaltered, except for the addition of a minor feature enhancement.

The base Prius LE model now comes at a price comparable to that of its 2024 equivalent, including the mandatory $1,135 destination fee. The Prius XLE’s price will rise in tandem with its more premium counterpart, climbing to $32,930. Toyota has boosted the appeal of its top-of-the-line Restricted trim by adding luxurious features such as heated and ventilated front seats and a larger touchscreen display, now priced at $36,500, a $400 increase.

The Prius Nightshade offers essentially identical design enhancements to other Toyota Nightshade models, focusing on aesthetic improvements rather than performance or functionality tweaks. Starting at $33,630 for the vacation package, this model features 19-inch black wheels and a sleek black exterior trim.

Introduced for the 2023 model year with a significantly refined design compared to its predecessor, the Prius now features a more streamlined silhouette, while continuing to power its hybrid system with a tried-and-trusted 2.0-liter inline-four engine. While front-wheel drive is standard, a $1,400 upgrade offers an all-wheel-drive system featuring a dedicated electric motor powering the rear wheels.

The entrance-wheel drive models produce 194 horsepower, while the all-wheel drive models boast a slightly higher rating of 196 horsepower. EPA-estimated fuel economy ratings, expected to remain consistent at 32 city, 40 highway, and 36 combined for rear-wheel drive models, as well as 30 city, 38 highway, and 33 combined for all-wheel drive versions.

For the 2025 model year, Toyota continues to offer a plug-in hybrid powertrain option, now simply known as the Prius Plug-In Hybrid, having opted to discontinue the Prime designation for both this model and its plug-in hybrid counterpart in the RAV4. While the mannequin remains unaltered, it still achieves an impressive 44 miles of EPA-certified electric range and a combined 51 mpg, alongside a swift 0-60 mph acceleration in 6.6 seconds.
