Review: Driving the New 2023 Nissan Z

Nissan’s iconic sports car, the Z, is all-new for 2023. This coupe for the modern era builds off design inspiration from past models but features the latest technology and a fresh interior, not to mention unparalleled performance. Let’s get behind the wheel of the all-new 2023 Nissan Z and check out everything this gorgeous sports coupe has to offer.

Impressive Performance

If you’re in the market for a sports car, it has to perform—and the all-new Z doesn’t disappoint. It uses just two wheels to deliver power to the road, with a 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged V-6 delivering up to 400hp and 350 lb.-ft. of torque. Boost builds as you drive, making passes on the highway a breeze without worrying about downshifts. Overall, the Z engine provides a smoother, more refined, and more powerful ride when compared to previous models.

A Retro Design

The all-new Z is going retro—in the best way possible. The exterior of the Z harkens back to Nissan’s original Z car that launched it all, the 240Z. Nissan’s design experts wanted the new Z to combine the hero-car feeling of the 240Z with the minimal stylings of the 300ZX. You can spot these characteristics in the new Z’s overall shape, featuring a well-proportioned front end reminiscent of the 240Z. The designers also worked to incorporate the golden ratio, a mathematical expression said to make things look pleasing to the eye, to give the new Z mass appeal.

A Comfortable Interior

While the Z is all-new for 2023, the layout of the cabin is unchanged from prior models. While the Z stays true to its roots as a two-seater, everything else about the interior is updated. Stay comfortable behind the wheel in leather upholstered power-adjustable seats, with available dual-zone automatic climate control.

Abundant Infotainment

Tech comes standard in the all-new Z. You get an 8.0-inch infotainment display or an optional 9.0-inch unit with navigation. There’s also a generous 12.3-inch digital gauge display and all the features that help you stay connected on the go, including SiriusXM satellite radio, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto. A six-speaker audio setup comes standard, but audiophiles have the option to upgrade to a premium Bose stereo system.

Sporty, but Safe

While the Z is undoubtedly a sports car, Nissan has ensured every drive is a safe one by providing a whole host of standard driver-assistance features. Adaptive cruise control, automated emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, lane-departure warning, and pedestrian detection all come standard, giving you peace of mind every time you get behind the wheel.
