Is this really a Prius… or something else entirely? 🤔

What happens when Toyota takes one of the most recognizable cars on the road and gives it a bold new attitude? A plug-in hybrid Prius in Nightshade trim, finished in a head-turning Karashi yellow, shows up—and suddenly people are doing double takes.

How far can you really go on electric power alone—and what does that mean for daily driving, errands, or even a last-minute date night? ⚡🚗

From blacked-out accents and premium tech to charging convenience, fuel economy, and a price point that might surprise you, this review digs into why the 2026 Toyota Prius Nightshade Plug-In Hybrid may not be the Prius you remember.
