2027 Nissan Z Facelift Revealed: Grille Updated, Manual Transmission Added to NISMO

SAUDI ARABIA: The Nissan Z was launched a couple of years ago, and the car was loved. The performance was the standout feature for the car, but it did have its Achilles heel. The grille in the front was not loved by many, and they noted that it looked like a furnace vent. The 2027 Nissan Z has now got a facelift and was revealed at the Tokyo Auto Salon, and the grille has been changed. Nissan has actually heard the comments from angry internet people and changed the design for their design, to be honest, for the better. The facelift didn’t just include the grille change; there were many changes included.

The G-Nose is Back

The rectangular grille is out, and the G-Nose is back. The model now has a split bumper design that was previously only available on the “Customised Edition” in Japan. The design takes inspiration from the legendary Fairlady 240ZG “G-nose” from the 1970s. This improves the design of the car significantly, and it looks much wider and lower. The update has certainly made the car look much more premium.

There’s also a new paint option for the Nissan Z, which is called Unryu Green (Cloud Dragon Green). The colour mimics the old Grand Prix Green colour from the S30 generation. The new design and colour options certainly tone down the car and add significant gravitas to the model.

Manual Transmission is Here

The NISMO cars did not have a manual transmission, which was one of the most requested features for NISMO cars. Well, it is here now. The 2027 Nissan Z will have a six-speed manual transmission. The new transmission is also coming with improved cooling and a stiffer chassis. This makes the Nissan Z, currently, the perfect car for everyone who loves the model.
