The 2025 Nissan Z represents the seventh generation of Nissan’s legendary Z-car lineup, a lineage that began in 1969 with the iconic Datsun 240Z. Building on the legacy of its predecessor, the 370Z, the new Z maintains its sporty DNA while riding on a reworked version of the previous platform. Breaking away from numerical naming conventions, it introduces a fresh identity with modern updates, including two new logos—a revamped Nissan emblem and a striking Z logo on its sides.
Exterior Design
The exterior of the Nissan Z masterfully combines modern aesthetics with nostalgic touches. Its sleek front features a long hood housing the front-mounted engine in this rear-wheel-drive machine. The rear lights are a nod to the classic Datsun Z, blending retro inspiration with contemporary flair. A compact chassis enhances its agility, making it a true drift enthusiast’s dream.
Adding to its sporty appeal are 19-inch Dark Metallic forged alloy wheels by RAYS®, emphasizing its aggressive stance and performance focus. To further cater to its youthful audience, Nissan offers the Z in a variety of bold, eye-catching colors to suit every taste.
2025 Nissan Z Interior
Inside, the Nissan Z is designed for the driver, featuring a two-seat layout and a sporty, minimalist design. The cabin includes a central NissanConnect® 8-inch audio touchscreen display compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, providing seamless smartphone connectivity.
Behind the steering wheel lies a 12.3-inch digital dashboard with a customizable Sport Mode display, providing key performance data at a glance. For added functionality, the car also features a classic three-gauge analogue display, offering readings for boost, turbo fan speed, and voltage—an homage to the heritage of analog Z models.
Music enthusiasts will appreciate the 8-speaker premium Bose audio system, delivering rich, immersive sound quality. For driving purists, the Z comes with a handbrake tailored for drifting, enhancing its appeal to thrill-seekers. Safety remains a priority, with features such as a blind spot warning system, lane-keeping assist, and airbags throughout the cabin for comprehensive protection.
Mechanical Specifications
Under the hood, the 2025 Nissan Z is powered by a 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged V6 engine, the same powerhouse found in the Infiniti Q50 and Q60 Coupe. This engine, a cousin to the Nissan GT-R’s motor, produces an impressive 400 horsepower and 475 Nm of torque.
Drivers have the choice of a 6-speed manual transmission with Synchro Rev Control for smooth and precise gear shifts or a 9-speed automatic transmission with GT-R-inspired paddle shifters, providing the flexibility to match the driver’s preference.
Performance figures are equally thrilling—the Z sprints from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.5 seconds and reaches a top speed of 250 km/h. Weighing 1,596 kg, it strikes a balance between agility and stability, making it ideal for spirited driving.
