What's New for the 2027 Nissan Z?
Nissan's iconic sports coupe returns for 2027 with a refreshed front fascia and a retro-inspired grille. Refreshed wheel designs complement the updated look, and Shinkai Green Pearl Metallic has been added as a new exterior paint color.
Another significant update is the newly available six-speed manual transmission with a short-throw shifter on the track-ready NISMO trim. To improve braking performance during high-demand driving, Nissan fitted the Z NISMO with GT-R-derived front brake rotors. On the Performance trim, larger monotube shock absorbers contribute to enhanced ride balance and sharper cornering.
What Are the 2027 Z Trims & Features?
Nissan offers the new Z in three well-defined trim levels: Sport, Performance, and NISMO.
The Sport trim delivers authentic sports coupe excitement with plenty of standard features. Highlights include a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, an 8.0-inch NissanConnect touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration, and LED headlights with signature daytime running lights.
Hardware upgrades like Akebono four-piston front brakes and a mechanical limited-slip differential transform the Performance trim into an even more capable sports car. It also adds 19-inch RAYS forged-alloy wheels, an eight-speaker Bose audio system, and a 9.0-inch touchscreen with navigation.
The Z NISMO features bespoke steering and suspension tuning alongside increased engine output. Aerodynamic exterior bodywork gives this high-performance model an aggressive, race-inspired profile.
How Much Horsepower Does the 2027 Z Have?
Under the hood sits a 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 engine producing 400 horsepower and 350 lb-ft of torque. On the Z NISMO, dedicated tuning raises output to 420 horsepower and 384 lb-ft of torque. Across all trims, drivers can choose between a six-speed manual gearbox and a nine-speed automatic transmission, with standard rear-wheel drive powering the vehicle.
What Safety Features Does the 2027 Z Include?
Standard driver-assistance technologies on the 2027 Nissan Z provide everyday driving confidence. Intelligent Forward Collision Warning monitors two vehicles ahead, while Blind Spot Warning makes lane changes simpler and safer. The standard suite also features Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection, Lane Departure Warning, Intelligent Cruise Control, High Beam Assist, and Rear Cross Traffic Alert.
