The current-gen Nissan Z is a phenomenal sports car that, for many reasons, most people are sleeping on.
Now, we can add one more to that list, as its starting price is climbing by a not-insignificant $1,500 for 2027.
Nissan confirmed the price hike today, while also announcing a few updates and retro touches for the new model year .
Just look at it: the new color-matched trim around the grille looks incredible, especially in that Shinkai Green Pearl Metallic.
The design tweaks to the bumper, including replacing the Nissan logo with the Z badge, as well as the 19-inch wheels with black spokes, really highlight the elegant nature of the coupe without making it feel overly dressed or too wannabe race car.
If you want the race-car look, then opt for the Nismo variant, which now also comes with a six-speed manual at no extra cost (compared to the automatic Nismo).
You can read the review of the Nismo manual here .
The facelifted 2027 Z will be offered in four trims and with either an auto or manual: Z Sport, Z Performance, Z Nismo AT, and Z Nismo Manual.
The starting price for the Z Sport is $45,725, including $1,245 destination.
The Nismo starts at $68,505, also including destination.
All trims now reflect a $1,510 price increase.
If you’re interested in a 2027 Z, especially in one of the more desired colors, put your order in soon, because as we r eported earlier this year , average dealers will only receive two to three cars this year.
