2023 Nissan Z Canada release date

Pricing for the 400-horsepower 2023 Nissan Z starts at $46,498 in Canada, undercutting the less-powerful six-cylinder Toyota GR Supra by nearly $22,000. 

As has always been the case with Nissan's iconic sports car lineup, performance and value must go hand-in-hand in order to make a true Z car. This new 2023 Nissan Z – you'll often hear it referred to as the 400Z in honour of its horsepower rating – is the long-awaited successor to the 370Z (2009-2020), which was itself a successor to the 350Z (2003-2008). Prior to the modern reincanation of the Z car nearly two decades ago, the Nissan 300ZX ran from 1983-1996 as the descendant of the Nissan 280ZX, 280Z, 260Z, and 240Z. 

Today, we're reaching into a new stratosphere of performance. Car And Driver says it's "a Z-car that grips tenaciously on the track, with approachable limits that are easy to kiss and correct." Jalopnik says, "It's light on its feet. There’s a tiny smidge of body roll, just enough to give you an accurate sense of speed. The suspension settles immediately in a corner. It’s poised, confident. The steering — electric, unlike the 370Z’s hydro boost — is quick and precise. The car bounds into a turn, sharp and predictable." Road & Track says, "On the track, at the limit of adhesion, it is possible to micro-adjust in the mid corner and have the car listen and communicate some feedback." At Driving.ca, there's a comprehensive verdict: "Precisely because it is not trying to be a car of its moment, the Z manages to pull off the hardest trick of them all. It arrives already a classic, a brand-new sports car of the old school."

So, we know the $46,498 2023 Nissan Z is exceptional. But what if you want more? That's where the 2023 Nissan Z Performance package steps in at $58,495, still undercutting the six-cylinder Toyota Supra by nearly $10,000. 

Extras in the Performance edition include:

  • SynchroRev Match (with manual transmissions)
  • Limited-slip differential
  • Bigger front and rear brakes with red calipers
  • Upgraded leather on the steering wheel
  • Sport-tuned suspension
  • RAYS 19-inch alloys
  • 255/40R19 front and 275/35R19 rear Bridgestone Potenza S007 tires (instead of Yokohama ADVAN Sport 245/45R18 tires all around)
  • Front chin spoiler and rear spoiler
  • Leather seating
  • Heated seats
  • Power seats
  • Suede door trim
  • Bose 8-speaker audio
  • NissanConnect with WiFi hotspotting and NissanConnect Services telematics
  • HomeLink
  • Dampened glove compartment
  • Aluminum pedals

There's a wide array of standard equipment in every 2023 Nissan Z, as well. Besides the 400-horsepower/350 lb-ft of torque from the twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V6, the Z's suite of features include:

  • blind spot monitoring
  • automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection
  • lane departure warning
  • rear cross traffic alert
  • auto high beams
  • forward collision warning
  • proximity access/pushbutton start
  • satellite radio compatibility
  • Bluetooth
  • rearview monitor
  • front/rear parking sensors
  • intelligent cruise control
  • 8-inch display touchscreen with Apple CarPlay/Android Auto
  • digital dashboard
  • automatic transmission models add Launch Control

On paper, it all adds up. Yet Nissan insists that the new Z isn't about the specs, it's not about the numbers, it's not about the objective performance metrics. This car is all about the actual experience. Hiroshi Tamura, the engineer behind both the GT-R and this new Z, has one goal. "I want to see the customers smile," Tamura says.
