About this episode
The 2027 Nissan Z debuted back in January already, but now it's time for its U.S. launch alongside the updated Z Nismo, which is now available with a six-speed manual transmission. The facelifted non-Nismo variant gets revised styling for 2027 that improves aerodynamic efficiency, redesigned wheels, and a new green paint finish that pairs beautifully with a new tan interior. There have also been meaningful changes under the skin—changes that promise to provide a sharper driving experience, particularly for the Nismo model. And there's now wireless charging. Let's take a closer look.2027 Nissan Z Updated Inside and Out

The 2027 Nissan Z Sport and Performance variants have been given a new front bumper and grille that leans further into the already retro styling of the sports car, adding a body-color bar running through the front grille intake. This bumper promises to reduce aerodynamic lift and drag, though this is obviously a minor improvement. Another throwback touch is the decision to place a Z emblem on the hood instead of the Nissan badge previously found there, and the new forged 19-inch wheels lean into the old-school look with black centers and a machined-finish rim. This looks especially good with the new Unryu Green metallic paint option, which has been given a new name in the U.S.: Shinkai Green Pearl. Whatever you call it, it's a throwback to the Grand Prix Green offered on the S30 generation of the Datsun 240Z, and if you order it, the roof is painted Super Black. For Z Performance models, tan interior upholstery is also available, as is a wireless smartphone charger with a cooling fan that Nissan says will work on "a wider range of devices."
