The hybrid vehicle model finish comes in FWD and [AWD](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2023-kia-sportage-phev)-e versions, which each come in three colors including [Midnight Black Metallic](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2026-range-rover-sv-black-edition), Silver Metallic and Super White. Each of the versions are finished with black headlight accents, door handles, mirror caps, a color-keyed rear deck spoiler and a shark fin antenna. The Toyota Prius Nightshade Edition vehicle also comes with SofTex-trimmed seats standard, which are heated and power-adjustable for both the driver and the passenger. Drivers will also enjoy a heated steering wheel, a semi-gloss black center console and more. The vehicle model is expected to be available for purchase this fall. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.9/10 - Popularity: 31% | Activity: 15% | Freshness: 10% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Hybrid Demure Design:** Opportunity for car manufacturers to explore darker, subtle finishes for hybrids. - **Nightshade Editions:** Possibility for other car makers to follow suit and offer a line of editions with a particular finish. - **Advanced Standard Features:** Potential for automobile brands to offer more luxurious, high-end standard features in their models. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Automobile Manufacturing:** Manufacturers can capitalize on customer demand for hybrid vehicles with subtler, less conspicuous designs and luxurious standard features. - **Automotive Design:** Designers can explore new dark finishes for hybrid vehicles that cater to drivers wanting to make a subtle statement. - **Automotive Accessories:** Auto accessory suppliers can capitalize on the market demand by providing new variations and options for hybrid vehicle finishes and accessories. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Special Edition Dark Sedans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2023-camry-nightshade.md) - [Style-Conscious PHEVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/toyota-prius-prime.md) - [Celebratory Plug-In Hybrid Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2023-toyota-prius.md) - [Ultra-Modern Bi-Tone CUVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/toyota-chr-prologue.md) - [Sporty Contrasting SUV Models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/toyota-rav4-gr-sport.md) - [Hybrid Electric SUV Models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rav4.md) - [Retro-Inspired Hatchbacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/toyota-corolla-hatchback-fx-edition.md) - [Tech-Rich Hybrid SUVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2023-toyota-rav4.md) - [Sci-Fi-Inspired SUV Models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/toyota-rav4-dark-side-performance-concept.md)
