What's New for the 2027 Nissan Z?
Nissan updates its high-performance sports car for 2027 with a retro-inspired grille integrated into a redesigned front bumper. Fresh wheel styling highlights the coupe's side profile, and Shinkai Green Pearl Metallic arrives as an appealing new exterior color option.
The motorsport-inspired NISMO grade gains an exciting new option: a six-speed manual gearbox paired with a short-throw shifter. Nissan also added GT-R-derived front brake rotors to the Z NISMO to withstand aggressive track use. Meanwhile, larger monotube shock absorbers enhance both ride quality and handling stability on the Performance trim.
What Are the 2027 Z Trims & Features?
Nissan offers three distinct trim levels for the 2027 model year: Sport, Performance, and NISMO.
The base Sport trim provides an exhilarating introduction to sports car performance alongside high-tech cabin amenities. Drivers receive a customizable 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, an 8.0-inch NissanConnect display compatible with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, and brilliant LED headlights with signature daytime accents.
The Performance trim elevates cornering and stopping capability with Akebono four-piston front brakes and a mechanical limited-slip differential. Additional enhancements include 19-inch RAYS forged-alloy wheels, an eight-speaker Bose sound system, and a 9.0-inch touchscreen with built-in navigation.
At the summit of the range, the Z NISMO features exclusive chassis stiffening, track-tuned steering, and extra horsepower. Aerodynamic front splitters and rear spoilers give this model an unmistakable competition-grade appearance.

How Much Horsepower Does the 2027 Z Have?
The heart of the 2027 Z is a 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 engine delivering 400 horsepower and 350 lb-ft of torque. The track-ready Z NISMO produces 420 horsepower and 384 lb-ft of torque courtesy of specialized calibration. Power is delivered to the rear wheels, and drivers across all trims can choose between a six-speed manual and a nine-speed automatic transmission.
What Safety Features Does the 2027 Z Include?
Standard driver assistance on the 2027 Nissan Z provides peace of mind on open highways and city streets. Intelligent Forward Collision Warning tracks two cars ahead, while Blind Spot Warning aids with safe highway merging. Standard equipment also includes Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection, Lane Departure Warning, Intelligent Cruise Control, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, and High Beam Assist.
