What's New for the 2027 Nissan Z?
Nissan's iconic sports coupe returns for the 2027 model year showcasing a restyled front fascia with a vintage-inspired grille. Refreshed wheel designs make their debut across the lineup as well. Additionally, drivers can now select the striking Shinkai Green Pearl Metallic exterior paint finish.
Enthusiasts will appreciate the track-ready NISMO trim's newly available six-speed manual gearbox with a short-throw shifter. To further boost racetrack stopping power, Nissan equipped the Z NISMO with high-performance front brake rotors derived from the GT-R. Meanwhile, the Performance trim features larger-diameter monotube shock absorbers that refine ride comfort and sharpen handling.
What Are the 2027 Z Trims & Features?
Nissan offers the new Z in three well-defined trim levels: Sport, Performance, and NISMO.
The entry-level Sport trim delivers exhilarating driving dynamics alongside an impressive array of modern conveniences. Cabin and styling highlights include a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, an 8.0-inch NissanConnect touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration, and full LED headlights with distinctive daytime running lights.
Track-focused upgrades, including Akebono four-piston front brake calipers and a mechanical limited-slip differential, turn the Performance trim into an even sharper sports coupe. Premium amenities include 19-inch RAYS forged-alloy wheels, an eight-speaker Bose audio system, and a 9.0-inch touchscreen with built-in navigation.
Engineered for peak performance, the Z NISMO features specialized steering and suspension tuning along with an upgraded power output. Functional aerodynamic bodywork gives this range-topping model an aggressive, purposeful presence.
