Exterior

The 2026 Prius stands out with a daring, athletic stance that challenges the status quo of hybrid design. Its smooth body lines and sharp Bi-LED projector headlights create a signature look that is both functional and futuristic. The new Nightshade Edition adds a layer of mystery with 19-inch black-finished alloy wheels, black badging, and blacked-out door handles. For a more open-air feel, the available fixed glass roof floods the cabin with natural light, offering a premium view of the Chicago skyline as you drive through the North Shore.

Performance
