The 2019 Nissan GT-R is a friendly monster
Where a lot of high-end sports cars have reputations for being challenging to drive quickly, the 2019 Nissan GT-R makes supercar performance accessible. Depending on the trim, it also has a surprisingly comfortable ride. And while it’s been 10 years since this version of the GT-R was introduced, the GT-R has been updated enough that it at least doesn’t feel totally out of place compared to its competitors.
Still, the GT-R lacks newer tech like driver aids, and it doesn’t quite balance everyday drivability and bleeding-edge performance as well as competitors like the Porsche 911. What it does do is make up to 600 horsepower from its turbocharged V6 engine, although that power comes with an excess of noise and some jerky performance in traffic. There are places where the 2019 GT-R is showing its age, but performance isn’t one of them.

What We Like
Acceleration: The GT-R Nismo churns out 600 horsepower, which is pretty incredible in any crowd. In Edmunds' testing, the base 565-horsepower V6 took the GT-R from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.1 seconds. The GT-R’s explosive acceleration is a hallmark of this all-wheel-drive beast.
Handling: Thanks to a very smart all-wheel-drive system, razor-sharp response, and ample grip, the GT-R’s performance is more approachable and accessible than some other supercar-quick vehicles.
Ride: Opt for the Pure or Premium trim and the GT-R’s adaptive suspension will soak up bumps, especially in Comfort mode. It’s still firm, but some competitors can feel harsh and jittery on rough roads.
What Needs Improvement
Dated technology: While Nissan has updated the GT-R over the years, it still lacks driver aids and doesn’t offer Android Auto™. (The GT-R does have Apple CarPlay®.) Add in the clunky infotainment graphics, and the GT-R definitely doesn’t feel as fresh as many other 2019 performance cars.
