2025 Nissan Z: Upgrades, Design, Technology, and Safety Reviewed!
We know sports car enthusiasts expect a thrilling drive paired with cutting-edge features. The 2025 Nissan Z delivers on both counts, blending racing DNA with modern convenience. From its bold twin-turbo V6 to its driver-focused interior and suite of advanced technologies, this year’s model keeps the excitement alive. Let’s dive into what makes this model stand out and why it continues to be one of the most exciting sports cars in Canada.
Performance That is Pure Adrenaline
At the heart of we find a 3.0-litre twin-turbocharged V6 engine that generates 400 horsepower and 350 lb-ft of torque. This powerplant is built with lightweight aluminum-alloy block and heads, paired with a water-cooled intercooler to keep performance consistent even under demanding driving. Optical turbo speed sensors allow the turbines to spin up to an incredible 240,000 rpm, translating to rapid response and thrilling acceleration.
Drivers have the choice between a 6-speed manual transmission and a 9-speed automatic, each designed to deliver a connected, driver-first experience. The manual comes with advanced touches such as SynchroRev Match® and launch control with no-lift shift, making it both engaging and sophisticated.
Handling, Wheels, and Braking Power
A sports car is only as good as its handling, and the Z delivers with precision. The suspension setup includes an aluminum double-wishbone design in the front and a multi-link system in the rear, supported by a die-cast subframe for added strength without extra weight. This engineering provides razor-sharp steering response and confident cornering, whether cruising through the city streets or taking on winding backroads.
Interior: Driver-Focused Comfort
Stepping inside we find that this cockpit was designed with the driver in mind. The horizontal instrument panel creates a wraparound feel, reinforcing the sense of control behind the wheel. Deep bucket seats and strategically placed knee pads keep you steady during spirited driving, while a GT-R®-inspired steering wheel adds a touch of heritage performance.
Technology is seamlessly integrated with a standard 8-inch touchscreen, supporting Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™. Media, navigation, and communication are at your fingertips or available through voice commands.
Connectivity and Infotainment
Staying connected is easy in the 2025 Nissan Z. The standard 12.3-inch digital dashboard gives you customizable views, including a sport mode designed in collaboration with NISMO® racer Tsugio Matsuda. This ensures performance data is clear and easy to read, even when driving at pace.
For entertainment and convenience, a Bose® premium audio system is available, filling the cabin with crisp sound. Connectivity expands further with the MyNISSAN app, which allows owners to remotely check vehicle health, lock or unlock doors, and even schedule maintenance. A built-in Wi-Fi hotspot adds even more convenience, ensuring your drive is as modern as it is thrilling.
Safety and Driver Assistance
Performance is exciting, but safety is always a priority. The Z integrates advanced driver-assist features to help keep you confident on the road. Intelligent Cruise Control adapts to traffic flow, maintaining a set distance from vehicles ahead. Intelligent Forward Collision Warning and Intelligent Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection provide peace of mind by monitoring the road and responding when you need it most.
Other standard features include Blind Spot Warning, Lane Departure Warning, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, and High Beam Assist, all working together to create a safer, more controlled drive. A RearView Monitor makes low-speed manoeuvres simpler, ensuring visibility around tight spaces.
