A comfortable and sporty coupe or convertible

Delivering sharp handling and immediate responsiveness, the 2017 Nissan 370Z offers a thrilling drive on winding roads. While the base versions of the engine and six-speed manual transmission are fun, the 2017 Nissan 370Z Nismo unlocks more horsepower and impressive handling characteristics. But that doesn’t mean the 2017 Nissan 370Z is uncomfortable to drive, thanks to supportive and soft seating that stays comfortable on extended drives.

5 reasons to buy the 2017 Nissan 370Z

1. A capable and powerful V6 engine 

Powering the 2017 Nissan 370Z is a 332-hp 3.7 L V6 engine. You get a choice of transmission options, either a six-speed manual transmission or a seven-speed automatic transmission. When you pick the seven-speed automatic transmission, the 2017 Nissan 370Z V6 gets an EPA-estimated 26 mpg highway and 19 mpg highway fuel economy. 

2. Performance-themed Nismo trim 

You get increased performance and extra horsepower in the 2017 Nissan 370Z Nismo trim. The V6 engine power is boosted to 350 hp and paired with a six-speed manual transmission that automatically revs the engine to match the speed when shifting. The result is snappy, quick acceleration off the line, 5.2 seconds from zero to 60 mph (when new), and razor-sharp handling in tight corners. Finally, Recaro® sports seats hold you tight while you zip through the corners. 

3. A comfortable and stylish interior 

The interior of a 2017 Nissan 370Z is lined with soft-touch materials and metallic accents, which elevate the look and feel. Plus, the standard sports seats have soft cushioning that is strong enough to keep you in place but won’t feel uncomfortable after long drives. As a final touch, the triple-gauge dash design is a nice nod to the Z-car heritage of the 2017 Nissan 370Z. 

4. Lots of standard equipment 

You get the essential tech and comfort features you expect from a sports coupe in a base-model 2017 Nissan 370Z. For example, Bluethooth® connectivity, cruise control, automatic climate control, and push-button start are all standard. Plus, you can enjoy music through the aux audio port and the standard four-speaker sound system. 

5. A selection of trims 

Find the right 2017 Nissan 370Z configuration for you by looking for one of the trims with the features you want. For instance, the Sport trim upgrades the brakes, adds a limited-slip differential, and a nine-speaker Bose® sound system with active noise canceling. At the top of the trim list is the Touring trim, which adds leather seats, a seven-inch touchscreen, navigation, a rearview camera, and heated seats.
