How the Nissan Z Fits Into the Nissan Lineup

The Nissan Z occupies a focused sports-coupe role in Nissan’s lineup, pairing rear-wheel drive with a V6 engine and a choice of manual or automatic transmission. Comparing trims comes down to starting price, transmission configuration, and fuel economy priorities.

The 2023 Nissan Z starts at $39,990 MSRP, while the model range extends to $52,990 across three trims. MSRP excludes tax, title, registration and dealer fees. The Sport trim uses a 6-speed manual transmission and is rated at 18 city and 24 highway MPG, while the Performance and Proto Spec trims use 9-speed automatic transmissions and are rated at 19 city and 28 highway MPG.

Specifications and Configuration

Every 2023 Nissan Z configuration uses a 3.0-liter V6 engine with 2,997 cc of displacement, 400 horsepower, and 350 lb-ft of torque. Peak power arrives at 6,400 rpm, while peak torque arrives at 1,600 rpm. Rear-wheel drive and premium unleaded fuel are part of the vehicle’s core configuration.

The Nissan Z is 172.4 inches long, 72.6 inches wide, and 51.8 inches tall, with a 100.4-inch wheelbase. Curb weight ranges from 3,486 to 3,602 pounds across trims. Its coupe body style and rear-wheel-drive layout suit drivers looking for a dedicated performance-oriented vehicle rather than a utility-focused crossover.

What to Weigh Before Buying

Trim selection determines the Nissan Z’s transmission and efficiency ratings. The Sport trim emphasizes a 6-speed manual driving experience, while the Performance and Proto Spec trims pair automatic shifting with the higher MPG figures in the model range.

Consider how a rear-wheel-drive coupe fits daily driving needs, passenger and cargo expectations, and fuel preferences. Premium unleaded is the recommended fuel, and the vehicle’s compact dimensions may appeal to drivers who want a lower, focused driving position.
