What's New for the 2027 Nissan Z?
Nissan's rear-wheel-drive sports car returns for 2027 with a restyled front fascia featuring a heritage-inspired grille. New wheel designs give the exterior a fresh look, while Shinkai Green Pearl Metallic makes its debut as an available paint color.
Enthusiasts will also appreciate the newly available six-speed manual transmission with a short-throw shifter on the track-focused NISMO trim. Nissan equipped the Z NISMO with GT-R-derived front brake rotors to enhance on-track stopping power. Furthermore, larger monotube shock absorbers on the Performance trim help deliver improved ride composure and cornering stability.
What Are the 2027 Z Trims & Features?
The 2027 Nissan Z lineup is offered in three distinct grades: Sport, Performance, and NISMO.
The base Sport trim provides plenty of driving excitement alongside standard tech. Cabin highlights include a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, an 8.0-inch NissanConnect touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration, and LED headlights with signature daytime running lights.
The Performance trim adds enthusiast hardware, including Akebono four-piston front brake calipers and a mechanical limited-slip differential. Additional features include 19-inch RAYS forged-alloy wheels, an eight-speaker Bose premium audio setup, and a 9.0-inch touchscreen with navigation.
In addition to custom steering and suspension tuning, the Z NISMO delivers higher horsepower. Aerodynamic exterior modifications give this high-output model an aggressive, track-inspired stance.
How Much Horsepower Does the 2027 Z Have?
Under the hood is a 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 engine rated at 400 horsepower and 350 lb-ft of torque. Performance tuning elevates the Z NISMO's output to 420 horsepower and 384 lb-ft of torque. Every trim now provides a choice between a six-speed manual and a nine-speed automatic transmission, with a traditional rear-wheel-drive configuration standard throughout.
What Safety Features Does the 2027 Z Include?
The 2027 Nissan Z includes several standard driver-assist technologies. Intelligent Forward Collision Warning alerts drivers by monitoring two vehicles ahead, while Blind Spot Warning assists when changing lanes. Other standard safety features include Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection, Lane Departure Warning, Intelligent Cruise Control, High Beam Assist, and Rear Cross Traffic Alert.
