The 2026 Camry Nightshade Edition – Style Meets Efficiency for Mississauga's Urban Professionals

The 2026 Toyota Camry Nightshade Edition brings bold, blacked-out styling to Toyota's ninth-generation hybrid sedan. With exclusive Midnight Black Metallic exterior accents, 19-inch black alloy wheels, and a sport-tuned suspension, the Nightshade delivers both visual presence and dynamic handling for Ontario drivers who value refinement and efficiency in equal measure.

Standard all-wheel drive and hybrid efficiency make the Nightshade a smart choice for Mississauga's mix of highways, city streets, and unpredictable weather. Combined fuel consumption sits at 5.1 L/100 km, while 232 horsepower provides confident acceleration and passing power.

Blacked-Out Exterior Design

The Nightshade Edition transforms the Camry's athletic profile with a coordinated suite of Midnight Black Metallic components. The front grille, air curtains, side canards, door handles, mirror caps, shark fin antenna, rear lower sport diffuser, and rear spoiler all receive the black treatment.

Unique 19-inch black alloy wheels anchor the look, while gloss black badging replaces chrome trim. Available exterior colours include White, Supersonic Red, and Midnight Black Metallic—each chosen to complement the blacked-out accents.

Sport-Tuned Suspension and Handling

The Nightshade shares its sport-tuned suspension with the SE and XSE grades. Engineers specified shock absorbers for the front and rear, plus a larger diameter front stabilizer bar compared to other Camry trims. The result is improved body control through corners and greater stability at highway speeds.

MacPherson strut front suspension and multi-link rear suspension provide the foundation. The electronically controlled braking system uses on-demand pressurization through a pump motor, delivering precise brake feel and response.

Drivers can adjust the Camry's character using three selectable drive modes: Normal, Eco, and Sport. Paddle shifters mounted on the leather-wrapped steering wheel allow manual control of the electronically controlled continuously variable transmission.

Fifth-Generation Toyota Hybrid System

The Nightshade's powertrain pairs a 2.5 L 4-cylinder engine with Toyota's fifth-generation hybrid system. Total output reaches 232 horsepower on all-wheel drive models—30 more than the previous-generation Camry AWD.

Toyota engineers tuned the system to deliver natural acceleration feel synchronized with engine speed. The lithium-ion traction battery channels increased power through the electric motor generator, which helps suppress excessive engine revolutions during acceleration.

The electronically controlled continuously variable transmission intelligently selects gear ratios to match throttle input, balancing sporty response with fuel efficiency.

Electronic On-Demand All-Wheel Drive

All-wheel drive comes standard on the Nightshade Edition. The system uses an electric motor generator on the rear axle, working seamlessly with the fifth-generation hybrid system to provide precise front-rear torque distribution.

The AWD system monitors driving conditions and adjusts torque delivery to support start-off acceleration, handling, and stability. If the system detects slippery conditions or loss of tire grip, it increases torque distribution to the rear wheels to maintain traction and help keep the Camry on its intended path.

Interior Refinement and Technology

Inside, the Nightshade features SofTex-trimmed seats with sporty white accents in a Black interior colour scheme. Heated front seats and a heated leather-wrapped steering wheel come standard. Aluminum sport pedals and a leather-wrapped shift knob complete the sport-focused cabin.

The Toyota Multimedia system runs on either an 8-inch or available 12.3-inch touchscreen. Standard wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility pair with a Qi wireless charging pad. Five USB ports (three front, two rear) keep devices charged.

Drive Connect provides access to Intelligent Assistant for voice-activated commands, Cloud Navigation, and Destination Assist. A 3-year trial comes included on select grades.

Safety and Driver Assistance

Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 comes standard, including Pre-Collision System, Lane Departure Alert, Lane Tracing Assist, Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, Road Sign Assist, Automatic High Beams, and Proactive Driving Assist.

Blind Spot Monitor with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert and Safe Exit Alert help monitor areas around the vehicle. An 8-airbag system provides occupant protection.
