2023 Toyota Camry Nightshade Edition: Overview
First introduced in 2018, the Nightshade package is now available in mid-grade SE trims, including all-wheel-drive and front-wheel-drive models. Climbing higher into the trim levels, you can also get the Camry SE Hybrid Nightshade. For the 2023 model, the Nightshade gets black-painted side mirrors, badges, and a spoiler. Toyota also added a blacked-out headlight and taillight trims to give it a slightly more aggressive look.
Toyota reported that the Nightshade packages accounted for 5% of Camry sales in 2021. With new wheels, a unique color, and more blacked-out details, we’re confident that interest in the vehicle will grow.
Engine and Gas Mileage
The 2023 Toyota Camry Nightshade’s standard engine is a 2.5-liter Dynamic Force four-cylinder that produces 203 horsepower and 182 lb-ft of torque. It’s mated to a Direct Shift eight-speed electronically controlled transmission with intelligence. The Toyota Camry Nightshade’s engine provides power for daily family commutes, especially around the city. It’s also fuel-efficient, with ratings of 28 mpg in the city and 39 mpg on the highway. All-wheel drive achieves 25 mpg in the city and 39 mpg on the highway.
Handling and Performance
The Camry Nightshade feels sporty and athletic while providing the comfort and composed handling you need to handle curvy roads. It also has excellent stopping power due to the power-assisted ventilated 12-inch front disc brakes with single-piston calipers.
The 2023 Toyota Camry Nightshade isn’t the fastest sedan on the market, but it still delivers an impressive speed. It can shift from zero to 60 miles per hour in 7.3 seconds and accelerates to 1/4 mile in 15.6 seconds. It has a maximum speed of 120 miles per hour and is an excellent car for families and drivers looking for a vehicle with superb performance and a stylish look.
Exterior
The 2023 Toyota Camry SE Nightshade is an excellent choice of vehicle for many reasons, including its overall look. With just a few polishes and subtle differences, the Camry Nightshade stands out from the rest of the lineup. The 2022 versions only came in Midnight white and black, but the new model comes with a new awesome color — Reservoir Blue. The Camry Nightshade is easily one of the most stunning vehicles on the market.
It brings different features to the table without taking away what makes Toyota Camry an iconic vehicle. Your headlights, day running lights, and taillights come with LED accent lights and an auto ON/OFF feature. The signature black front grille with a sport mesh lower grille gives the Toyota Camry its uniqueness. The black window trim is the sleekest feature of this model.
The look is completed with the 19-inch TRD matte bronze finished alloy wheels and black rear spoiler. More impressive exterior features include the black roof-mounted shark-fin antenna, black outside door handles, heated power black exterior motors, single exhaust with dual chrome tips, and much more.
Interior
The 2023 Toyota Camry Nightshade’s interior provides the perfect look you’d expect from Camry. Many people are still in awe at how the vehicle has a cabin that’s similar to what you’d find in a luxury vehicle. The interior is purely driver-focused, which makes it safe, comfortable, and enjoyable to drive.
Whether you choose the Midnight Black, White, or Reservoir Blue exterior, the interior is black. The bucket front seats, eight-way power driver seat, adjustable driver seat, driver seat with lumbar support, and the leather-trimmed tilt/telescopic three-spoke steering wheel with paddle shifters all make it possible to enjoy both long and short rides.
There are two cup holders on the front seats and two more at the back to hold drinks for you and your passengers. The cabin is incredibly spacious, modern, and comfortable. When it comes to technology, the 2023 Toyota Camry Nightshade shines again. There’s a standard 7-inch multi-informational display accompanied by a 10-inch color head-up display. You also get dynamic radar cruise control, dual-zone automatic climate control, and three driving modes: Eco, Normal, and Sport.
Infotainment
The multimedia system in the 2023 Toyota Camry Nightshade makes it possible to enjoy your favorite podcast and music. The 7-inch touch screen, six speakers, and Apple Car Play and Android Auto compatibility provides the connectivity you need during long-distance travel. The advanced technology allows you to receive personalized maintenance updates and vehicle health reports. You can drive safely and feel confident that you’re in control, even when the unexpected happens through the safety connect. This feature includes automatic collision notification, enhanced roadside assistance, and a stolen vehicle locator.
Safety
The Toyota Camry is one of the safest cars on the market today, and the Nightshade being part of the mid-trim offers the perfect safety features to help you drive safely and comfortably.
