Review: 2021 Toyota Camry SE Nightshade Edition AWD

The blacked-out look is currently all the rage, and Toyota is happy to indulge this trendy consumer demand by extending the brand's Camry Nightshade Edition for another year. A black front grille with sport mesh insert along with unique 18" black alloy wheels, accents, and badging lend to the five-seater's assertively exotic look, while a 202 horsepower 2.5L 4-cylinder Dynamic Force engine and sport-tuned suspension offer boost to the boogie. Our test model SE Nightshade AWD received an EPA estimated fuel economy rating of 32 miles per gallon (combined from 28 mpg in the city and 39 mpg on the highway). Further enhancements include black side mirrors and door handles as well as a black rear spoiler and gloss black window trim; and styling your own Nightshade consists of selecting from three exterior colors (Super White, Celestial Silver, or Midnight Black Metallic) to complement sport fabric SoftTex-trimmed seats and round out the cool factor.

The wide array of choices plus Camry's alluring, coupe-inspired design and renowned Toyota quality and value are reasons why Camry maintains leadership in the mid-size sedan category.

Source: Toyota | Turning 37 can be a tough transition for some, but for the Toyota Camry, it's a celebratory marker for this landmark model's largest, most diverse lineup ever. The first-ever XSE Hybrid grade combines the Camry's most fuel-efficient powertrain with its highest expression of the sport and luxury blend. All 2021 Camry models debut Toyota Safety Sense 2.5+, the automaker's newest version of the groundbreaking driver assist technology suite that includes automatic emergency braking. All Camry models for 2021 also get an added dose of tech and luxury with a new floating multimedia screen in 7-inch or 9-inch sizes, plus a new herringbone seat pattern on the XLE grade. Capping off the long list of enhancements, restyled front ends lend greater distinction among Camry grades. This expansion for 2021 follows a year in which Camry added an all-wheel drive option and its first-ever TRD performance model. The L grade has been discontinued for 2021. The LE now becomes the point of entry for the model line. All told, the 2021 Camry offers 17 different choices in the midsize sedan segment today.
