Nissan’s legendary Z nameplate is back, and it’s sharper, faster, and more emotionally charged than ever. The all-new Nissan Z merges retro inspired styling with modern tech and a twin-turbocharged powertrain, creating a sports car experience that’s as thrilling as it is respectful of its roots. For drivers in Saudi Arabia and across the Gulf, this machine speaks the universal language of speed and style.
The new Nissan Z captures the essence of the original 240Z with round LED headlights, a rectangular grille, and sleek proportions, while infusing a bold, futuristic character through sharp rear lights inspired by the classic Z32. Its body blends matte silver and gloss black accents, giving it an assertive yet elegant stance on the road.
Inside, the cabin strikes a fine balance between nostalgia and cutting-edge technology. A 12.3 inch digital driver display provides performance data in vivid clarity, and above the center stack sit three analog gauges, a signature nod to the past. High grade materials like stitched leather and brushed metal trims elevate the cabin’s tactile appeal, while a Bose premium audio system ensures immersive acoustics. Safety features include blind spot monitoring, forward collision warning, and intelligent cruise control for a stress-free ride through city traffic or long-distance sprints.
Beneath the sculpted hood lies a 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged V6 that punches out 400 horsepower and 475 Nm of torque. For purists, a 6-speed manual transmission offers raw mechanical engagement, while a 9-speed automatic caters to those seeking seamless acceleration with modern convenience.
On the test track, the Z launched from 0 to 100 km/h in under 5 seconds. Its revamped suspension and electronic steering system offered precise cornering and superb balance, even in aggressive driving scenarios. Drive modes tailor throttle and steering response to suit every mood, be it comfort for everyday cruising or maximum sharpness for spirited weekend blasts.
The exhaust note completes the sensory package, roaring to life with each gear shift and reminding drivers that this is a machine built to stir the soul.
