2027 Nissan Z – Versions and pricing in Canada
The entry point to Nissan’s two-door sports car gets more accessible for 2027. The base Z Sport now carries a Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) of $49,998 CAD, marking a full $1,000 reduction compared to the 2026 model. Buyers can choose between the 6-speed manual (6MT) or the 9-speed automatic (9AT) at no extra cost.

2027 Nissan Z – What’s new?
The most significant news for driving purists centers on the flagship NISMO. Addressing widespread feedback following its initial automatic-only launch, Nissan has added a 6-speed manual transmission to the NISMO for 2027. Equipped with a shorter shift lever throw and a reworked clutch built to handle its 420-hp, 389 lb-ft twin-turbo V6, the manual option delivers the tactile engagement track enthusiasts demanded.
Furthermore, all NISMO models adopt lighter two-piece iron-aluminum brake rotors derived from the GT-R, shedding 19 pounds of unsprung weight while enhancing track cooling.
Design of the 2027 Nissan Z
Across the lineup, the 2027 Z receives subtle visual nods to its lineage. A new Z badge replaces the Nissan logo on the nose, while Sport and Performance trims gain a body-coloured bar across the front grille. The Performance grade adds 19-inch forged wheels and debuts a retro-inspired Shinkai Green Pearl Metallic paint paired with a black roof.
