- Toyota is bringing the Nightshade edition back to the Corolla for the 2024 model year after a hiatus in 2023.
- The Nightshade edition turns the grille, rear bumper, and badges black and now features eye-catching bronze wheels.
- The Corolla Nightshade hits dealerships this fall, and should cost a couple thousands dollars more than the SE trim on which it is based.
The Toyota Corolla is gaining some extra pizzazz for 2024 with the return of the Nightshade edition, which brings blacked-out accents and flashy bronze wheels. The stealthy trim package was dropped from the Corolla lineup for 2023 after debuting for the 2020 model year. The Nightshade continues to be based on the SE model and is offered on the sedan and hatchback body styles as well as with the hybrid powertrain.
As the moody name suggests, the Nightshade is designed to blend into the darkness, sporting a gloss-black grille, black badges, a black rear diffuser, and black side-view mirrors. The sedan models wear a rear lip spoiler while the hatch is fitted with a large rear wing, unsurprisingly also in black. This monotone look is offset by bronze 18-inch wheels, and the hatchback can be ordered with a two-tone look with a contrasting black roof.
Toyota didn’t provide photos of the interior, but it should remain mostly unchanged. A optional JBL Premium Audio package improves the sound system while a SE Premium package brings a moonroof, wireless charger, blind-spot monitoring, and rear cross-traffic alert. Hybrid Nightshade models can be had with front- or all-wheel drive. Pricing details will be shared later this year, but we expect it to carry a premium of around $2000, with the hatchback model starting around $26,000 and the sedan opening at $27,000. More specifics should come before the Nightshade reaches dealerships in the fall of 2023.
