The Toyota Corolla is one of the most popular and reliable cars in the world, with more than 50 million units sold since its debut in 1966. But the Toyota Corolla is not known for being exciting or stylish, especially in its crossover version, the Corolla Cross, which was introduced in 2021 as a practical and affordable entry-level SUV.
That might change with the introduction of the 2024 Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid Nightshade Edition, a special edition model that adds some attitude and flair to the otherwise bland Corolla Cross. The Nightshade Edition is based on the SE grade of the Corolla Cross Hybrid, which is also new for 2024 and offers improved performance and fuel efficiency compared to the gas-only model.
The Nightshade Edition features a distinctive black-and-red theme that gives it a sporty and aggressive look. It comes with 18-inch gloss black sport alloy wheels, black and red fabric trimmed interior with red accent stitching, black accented head and tail lamps, blacked-out badges, black outside door handles and mirrors, and an integrated rear lip spoiler. The exterior color options are Jet Black, Barcelona Red with Jet Black Roof, or Celestite Gray with Jet Black Roof.
The 2024 Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid Nightshade Edition also comes with some standard accessories that enhance its convenience and functionality, such as a roof rack for extra storage, wireless charging, frameless HomeLink rearview mirror, and carpet floor mats. The Nightshade Edition is expected to arrive at Toyota dealerships this winter, along with the rest of the 2024 Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid lineup.
