What's New for the 2027 Nissan Z?
For 2027, Nissan's two-door sports car gains a redesigned front bumper featuring a heritage-inspired grille insert. Fresh alloy wheel options refresh its profile, and a rich Shinkai Green Pearl Metallic joins the available exterior color selections.
A headline update for the track-ready NISMO trim is the availability of a six-speed manual gearbox with a short-throw shift lever. The Z NISMO also adopts race-proven front brake rotors derived directly from the legendary GT-R. On the Performance trim, larger monotube dampers enhance suspension response and highway ride comfort.
What Are the 2027 Z Trims & Features?
The 2027 Nissan Z is available across three well-appointed trim levels: Sport, Performance, and NISMO.
The base Sport trim offers spirited driving dynamics paired with modern connectivity features. Drivers will enjoy a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, an 8.0-inch NissanConnect center screen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, and crisp LED headlamps with integrated daytime running lamps.
For enhanced driving capability, the Performance trim adds four-piston Akebono front brakes and a mechanical limited-slip rear differential. Additional amenities include 19-inch forged RAYS wheels, a nine-speaker-capable eight-speaker Bose premium audio system, and a 9.0-inch infotainment screen with GPS navigation.
The range-topping Z NISMO benefits from track-tuned steering and suspension, increased engine output, and an aerodynamic body kit that provides extra downforce and an intimidating appearance.

How Much Horsepower Does the 2027 Z Have?
The 2027 Nissan Z is motivated by a 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 generating 400 horsepower and 350 lb-ft of torque. The track-focused Z NISMO receives a boost to 420 horsepower and 384 lb-ft of torque. A six-speed manual and a nine-speed automatic transmission are now offered on every trim level, sending power exclusively to the rear wheels.
What Safety Features Does the 2027 Z Include?
Standard driver-assist features on the 2027 Z provide extra confidence in everyday traffic. Intelligent Forward Collision Warning monitors traffic two cars ahead, while Blind Spot Warning helps keep lane transitions safe. The car also features Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection, Lane Departure Warning, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, High Beam Assist, and Intelligent Cruise Control.
