Why it stands out

The 2025 Nissan Z stands out because it keeps the classic Z-car formula intact while packaging it in a modern sports coupe. It uses a powerful V6 engine up front driving the rear wheels, and it offers either a six-speed manual transmission or a nine-speed automatic. The platform was largely carried over from its predecessor, and the interior was redesigned, but the space and layout remained quite similar. That combination gives the car a familiar, driver-focused character without abandoning the heritage that defines the nameplate.

For 2025, the Z continued with Sport, Performance, and NISMO trims. The Performance trim added larger, high-performance brakes, lightweight RAYS wheels, and a mechanical limited-slip differential, while the NISMO brought improved aerodynamic bodywork, an updated suspension, larger brake rotors, and wider rear tires. The turbo V6 in the NISMO was retuned to produce 420 horsepower and 384 lb-ft of torque, and the Performance trim gained a Bose sound system as standard equipment. The bright orange Heritage Edition was discontinued for 2025, and Bayside Blue paint became available.

The 2025 Nissan Z should appeal to buyers who want a sports car with strong heritage, modern tech, and a straightforward performance focus. Standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto help it feel current, and every Nissan Z was equipped with a three-gauge pod on the dash. At the same time, the car’s aging platform and soft suspension are worth noting, along with disappointing stock tires. Even so, the Z remains attractive for shoppers who value a fast, fun-to-drive coupe with a long lineage and a lot of tuning potential.
