Z interior: modern tech with a vintage touch
Designed to fit the driver and passenger like a glove, the 2023 Z cabin seamlessly blends modern technology with vintage Z touches. The center stack takes inspiration from other generations before it, with three analog pod gauges on the instrument panel, 8.0-inch touchscreen audio display in the center and climate control switches near the shifter.

The interior design team also sought advice from professional motorsports legends, such as Nissan Super GT500 driver Tsugio Matsuda, to give the Z an ideal sports car cabin for all driving scenes. This can be seen in the instrumentation, with all vital information found in the 12.3-inch customizable digital meter display and arranged to help the driver grasp it at a glance, such as the redline shift point at the 12 o'clock position.

The 12.3-inch TFT meter display is all-new with three display modes to suit driver preference. "Normal" mode offers a sporty feel with the center area for navigation, audio and vehicle information. "Enhanced" mode pushes the tachometer and speedometer to the edges of the display, giving more space in the center for a larger navigation map and information to be displayed. "Sport" mode prioritizes the tachometer in the center with shift-up light at the top for shift information in the driver's field of view. The Sport mode also allows for a boost gauge or G meter to be displayed.

The new Z's center stack uses a three-zone approach, placing three analog pod gauges on the instrument panel (boost, turbo speed, volt) within the driver's eyesight. Both the manual and automatic shift levers are new, each of them custom-engineered for optimized grip and comfort.

The new, deep-dish steering wheel offers the driver quick access controls without losing its vintage aesthetic.

The design of the seats utilizes know-how from the GT-R's development to enhance both hold and fit. An expanded use of suede on the seatback suppresses initial lateral shake on the body, creating more comfortable drives, as well as reducing body movement when the vehicle is aggressively cornering.

The 2023 Z Sport grade offers black woven cloth seats with an 8-way manual driver's seat and 4-way manual passenger seat. The Z Performance grade adds leather-appointed seating surfaces, 4-way power driver's seat with manual lifter, lumbar and thigh support, 4-way power passenger seat and heated seats.

A full range of convenience features are offered as standard equipment, including Nissan Intelligent Key™ with Push Button Start, Intelligent Cruise Control, Automatic Temperature Control, auto-dimming rearview mirror, RearView Monitor, two 12-volt power points, two USB points (Type-A and Type-C), and front and rear sonar sensors. The 8.0-inch display audio touchscreen with six speakers includes Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, Bluetooth® Hands-free Phone System, Streaming Audio via Bluetooth®, SiriusXM® Radio, Hands-free Text Messaging Assistant and Siri® Eyes Free.

The Z Performance grade includes a 9.0-inch touchscreen with navigation and NissanConnect® Services with Wi-Fi hotspot. Also included is an 8-speaker Bose® Audio system with Active Noise Cancellation and Active Sound Enhancement.

Three interior color environments are available – Black, Red and Blue. The special Z Proto Spec edition features yellow accents throughout the cabin, including stitching on the instrument panel. The seats feature layered seat material to create depth and a gradation effect.

Sports cars are out there living the best of their lives with the recent boom on the market. Surely, they have always been in high demand and adored by the masses, but recent years saw some flashy all-new gems based on iconic predecessors. That happened with the Toyota Supra, the mid-engined Corvette, and our today's star, the Nissan Z.

This sports car has actually been around for quite a while, but it just gained the most modern update and name. For 2023, Nissan dropped the numbered lettering (previously 240Z and 307Z) for the letter Z. But except the name, nothing is quite simple on this ride, much to our delight.

The 2023 Nissan Z is a beautiful sports car powered by a twin-turbocharged V6 engine that produces 400 horsepower paired with a six-speed manual or a nine-speed automatic transmission. It's snappy, quick, easy to handle, and incredibly enjoyable to drive. What's more, the new Z remains true to its predecessors but goes beyond them with a more modern interior and upgraded tech.

Today, we take a closer look at the 2023 Nissan Z's interior to see how much things have improved precisely for the latest model.

While we won't dive too deep into the 2023 Nissan Z's exterior, it's important to mention how that sleek design translates into the interior. Outside, the Nissan Z features a long hood and short deck characteristic for its lineup. Yet, the sports car is also fresh and modern. The same applies to the interior.

Inside the 2023 Nissan Z is a carefully arranged layout of modern features with a traditional feeling. According to the head of design at Nissan, that's precisely the look they were aiming for to accomplish to stand out from the competition.

Although the cabin of the 2023 Nissan Z is indeed a little tight, it's also very comfortable thanks to the extra supporting seats. In fact, the development team used a lot of suede on the seat back to stabilize passengers and reduce movements in cornering. Depending on the trim, buyers can also opt for an 8-way manual driver's seat and a 4-way manual passenger seat for increased comfort. There are also leather-appointed seating surfaces, lumbar and thigh support, and heating settings as optional.

So, the interior of the Nissan Z is not only pleasant on the eye but also comfortable. When it comes to the color scheme, the 2023 Nissan Z's interior comes in black, red, or blue. There's also a special edition with yellow accents and stitching for those who want a more trendy layout.

What About The Tech Of The New Nissan Z?

Now, let's see how exactly the 2023 Nissan Z utilizes technology throughout the interior. First and foremost, the cabin features three analog pod gauges on the instrument panel (boost, turbo speed, volt), an 8-inch touchscreen audio display, and climate control switches around the shifter. The gauges add that mentioned touch of tradition, but two large displays (one behind the steering wheel and one at the center console) make the interior more modern.

When we're at it, we should mention that the 12.3-inch digital meter display is fully customizable and helps drivers read information without shifting attention too far away from the road. This part also has three modes (Normal, Enhanced, and Sport) to support different driving preferences and styles.

We suppose many people will also love the newly designed steering wheel with intuitive controls and vintage aesthetics. But speaking about a purely technical aspect, the Nissan Z offers many niceties, including an Intelligent Key with Push button Start, Intelligent Cruise Control, Automatic Temperature Control, auto-dimming rearview mirror, two 12-volt power points, two USB points, and much more.

Of course, customers can also opt for advanced and extra features during the build, such as a 9-inch touchscreen with navigation and the NissanConnect Services. These are all available with the Z performance grade.

As you can see, the 2023 Nissan Z lacks no tech features, which is also true in terms of safety and driver assistance. To support some hands-free experience and enhance safety on the road, the all-new Z offers automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, intelligent forward-collision warning, blind spot warning, rear cross-traffic alert, lane departure warning, and high beam assist. These features will help you feel supported on the road and enhance your sports driving experience.

Generally speaking, the 2023 Nissan Z is a stunning new sports car that ticks all the boxes in exterior and interior styling. It's particularly suitable for those who are searching for a more traditional-looking ride that still has all the necessary modern niceties. In this aspect, the Z does the job flawlessly.
