Overview

After a three-year hiatus, Nissan has reintroduced the Z sports coupe for 2023. Its retro-themed exterior styling breathes new life into the Z's storied lifetime, but the 2023 Z isn't entirely new. Underneath its new bodywork and restyled interior is the same chassis as the Nissan 370Z it replaces. It's been reinforced for added stiffness, but it's limited by a design that dates back to 2009. On the plus side, a more powerful 400-horsepower twin-turbocharged V6 engine and new suspension tunings improve handling and comfort. This new 2023 Nissan Z continues the tradition of delivering fun driving dynamics without breaking the bank. If you're a Z fan, we're certain you'll appreciate the many improvements. Otherwise, we suggest checking out the competition that includes the Toyota GR Supra and the more affordable Ford Mustang GT or Chevrolet Camaro SS.
