Interior: A Cockpit Designed Around You

Step inside the 2026 Nissan Z and you’ll find a performance-ready interior that balances classic Z DNA with modern comfort and convenience. A 12.3-inch digital dashboard, center-mounted triple gauges, and deeply bolstered sport seats create a cockpit that keeps you focused. Upper trims offer available Recaro® performance seats with Alcantara® and red accent stitching, while the NISMO trim adds exclusive interior design touches.

Comfort and functionality go hand in hand. There’s seating for two, an in-cabin microfilter for clean airflow, and a generous 6.9 cubic feet of cargo space, which is plenty for weekend bags or track-day gear. Whether you're commuting or carving through curves, the Z’s cabin is where driver and car become one.

Exterior: Heritage Meets the Future in Every Line

At first glance, the 2026 Nissan Z makes an impression. Its low, wide stance, sculpted hood, and vertical LED signature lighting recall the 240Z and 300ZX, while advanced materials and aerodynamic details bring it into the now. A bold grille and LED taillights stretch across the rear for a sharp, modern finish.

Each trim has its own design. The Heritage Edition turns heads with bronze 19-inch RAYS® forged alloy wheels and a carbon-fiber rear spoiler. Meanwhile, the NISMO trim adds a front splitter, canards, exclusive side sills, and an aggressive rear diffuser designed for track aerodynamics.

Available Exterior Colors:

  • Super Black
  • Midnight Purple (Heritage Edition Exclusive)
  • Pearl White TriCoat / Super Black Two-Tone
  • Solid Red / Super Black Two-Tone

Standard and available roof finishes, spoilers, and lighting details vary by trim and are crafted to enhance airflow and visual punch.

Performance: Twin-Turbo Power, Manual Precision

At the heart of every 2026 Nissan Z is a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 engine. Standard on Sport and Performance trims, it produces 400 horsepower and 350 lb-ft of torque. For those chasing track times, the NISMO trim is tuned to 420 horsepower and 384 lb-ft of torque, with upgraded cooling, stiffer chassis components, and exclusive engine software tuning.

Drivers can choose between a six-speed manual with EXEDY® high-performance clutch or a nine-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters and launch control. Rear-wheel drive comes standard across all models, and the Z features a mechanical limited-slip differential, performance tires, and SynchroRev Match® for smooth downshifts.

Fuel economy is rated at up to an EPA-estimated 22 mpg combined with the automatic transmission and 20 mpg combined with the manual, offering a solid balance of power and efficiency.
