Toyota hasn't yet announced many specifics about the Crown Nightshade, but we do know a few things about it. If you're hoping for a splash of color, you'll want to avoid the Nightshade.

As with the XLE and Limited, the Nightshade is only offered with the Crown's standard 236-hp hybrid powertrain. That setup pairs a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine with a trio of electric motors and a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT). The more powerful Hybrid Max setup is reserved for the Platinum trim, which features a six-speed automatic transmission and pairs a 2.4-liter turbo four with a single electric motor on the rear axle, making a combined 340 horsepower. All-wheel drive is standard on every model.
