A Look into the New 2023 Nissan Z

Nissan’s sports car has traditionally had an alphanumeric name, such as the current 370Z and the original 240Z from 1969, but this generation will simply be called Z. The 2023 Z is powered by a 400-hp twin-turbocharged V6 engine that sends power to the rear wheels via a six-speed manual or a nine-speed automatic transmission.

The New Z Brings a Host of Features

The handling of the new Z is simply superb, with zippy acceleration. It’s a pleasant surprise to discover that it is more refined than the vehicle it replaces. A new touchscreen infotainment system, a reconfigurable digital gauge display, and a slew of new driver-assistance features are also included in the Z.

A Complete Overhaul

Nissan’s iconic Z-car will be completely redesigned for 2023. The new Z, previewed by the Z Proto concept car, draws design inspiration from previous models while also providing a glimpse into the future with updated technology and much-needed interior modernization. The new Z will first be available as a hardtop coupe, followed by a convertible.

Price, Features, and Performance

Despite a slightly higher starting price, the new Z is still a steal when compared to key competitors. To justify its higher price, the Z adds more luxury features and more appealing styling. We’d go with the Z Performance trim, which adds a sportier suspension tune, a limited-slip differential, upgraded brakes, 19-inch wheels with summer tires, and power-adjustable seats with faux-suede upholstery to the mid-level model.

A twin-turbocharged V-6 engine powers the Z. It has a 3.0-liter engine with 400 horsepower and a nine-speed automatic transmission. The fuel economy is 19 miles per gallon in the city and the highway is 28 miles per gallon. By selecting the manual transmission, those figures drop to 18 mpg city and 24 mpg highway. Leather upholstery, power-adjustable seats, and dual-zone automatic climate control are standard. It comes standard with an 8-inch infotainment display, a 12.3-inch digital gauge display, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto. A six-speaker stereo is standard, and a Wi-Fi hotspot is available as an option.
