The 2027 Nissan Z price starts at $44,480 before destination, a $1,510 increase over the 2026 Sport. Nissan will send the refreshed rear-wheel-drive coupe to U.S. dealers in summer 2026, with the six-speed manual and nine-speed automatic carrying identical MSRPs. Add Nissan's listed $1,245 destination charge, and the least expensive Z reaches $45,725 before tax, registration, options, or dealer fees.
2027 Nissan Z Prices by Trim
| Trim | 2027 MSRP | 2026 MSRP | Increase | MSRP With Destination |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Z Sport | $44,480 | $42,970 | $1,510 | $45,725 |
| Z Performance | $54,480 | $52,970 | $1,510 | $55,725 |
| Z NISMO | $67,260 | $65,750 | $1,510 | $68,505 |
Looking at the data, Nissan applies the same increase across all three grades. The company also charges nothing extra for either transmission, including the new 2027 Nissan Z NISMO manual. Consequently, buyers can choose driver involvement or quicker automated shifts without letting the gearbox change the sticker price.
What Changes for 2027
The front fascia now uses a heritage-inspired grille with a body-color center bar and a Z badge in place of the previous Nissan nose emblem. Nissan also adds Shinkai Green Pearl Metallic, tan upholstery availability, a Qi2 wireless phone charger with an integrated cooling fan, and revised 19-inch forged wheels on the Performance grade.
Specifically, the mechanical updates target repeatable pace:
- Every grade gains a revised fuel tank that improves fuel delivery during sustained high-g cornering.
- Z Performance receives larger-diameter monotube dampers for tighter body control and better ride discipline.
- Z NISMO gains lighter two-piece front rotors, revised suspension tuning, lower-friction steering, and a six-speed manual.
- The redesigned nose improves cooling and aerodynamic efficiency without changing the car's core proportions.

The NISMO manual pairs a short-throw shifter with a stronger pressure plate and clutch. By comparison, its nine-speed automatic offers enhanced cooling and up to 50 percent faster downshifts in Sport+ mode. The GT-R-derived iron-aluminum front rotors remove 19 pounds while larger cooling passages increase thermal capacity, reducing unsprung mass and brake fade at the same time.
Dimensions, Weight, and Fuel Economy
The 2027 Nissan Z measures 173.2 inches long on a 100.4-inch wheelbase, stands 51.8 inches tall, and spans 72.6 inches wide; NISMO reaches 73.6 inches. Cargo capacity totals 6.9 cubic feet, while the redesigned tank holds 16.4 gallons.
- Manual curb weights run from 3,486 pounds for Sport to 3,624 pounds for NISMO.
- Automatic curb weights range from 3,549 to 3,704 pounds.
- Sport and Performance manuals return 18/24/20 mpg city/highway/combined.
- Their automatics improve those figures to 19/28/22 mpg.
- NISMO rates 16/21/18 mpg with the manual and 17/24/19 mpg with the automatic.
Which 2027 Nissan Z Trim Offers the Best Value?
Pro-Tip: Buy Hardware, Not Badges
From an expert perspective, the $54,480 Z Performance supplies the strongest road-use package. Its $10,000 premium over Sport buys a mechanical limited-slip differential, larger Akebono brakes, staggered forged wheels, wider rear tires, SynchroRev Match, launch control, heated seats, and a 9-inch infotainment screen.
Choose Sport if price and 400 horsepower lead your decision. Choose NISMO if you will use its 420-hp tune, brake capacity, chassis reinforcement, Recaro seats, and manual gearbox on demanding roads or track days. In addition, shoppers who do not need the 2027 revisions should price remaining 2026 inventory; the older car keeps the same core engine outputs and may carry a useful discount.
