Nissan Z 2022

Compared with the 370Z, the 2022 Nissan Z keeps the same broad idea of a compact rear-drive coupe while updating both the styling and the engine. The move to a 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 is the most significant technical change mentioned in the dossier. The body still follows classic Z proportions, with a long hood and a set-back cabin, but the details borrow from several earlier generations. The lighting, the large front opening, and the horizontal rear lamps make it easy to distinguish from a 370Z while also echoing Z32 influences and older Z cues. In Base trim, it remains focused on that core package.

In the available material, the 2022 Nissan Z is listed only as the Base version. That limits any internal comparison, because no other local trim is documented here with enough certainty to describe it safely. The dossier does note that, in Nissan’s North American documentation, the generation may be paired with either a six-speed manual or a nine-speed automatic. Those details should not be assigned to the Base 2022 with certainty without a local specification sheet. The later Z NISMO is a separate, performance-focused derivative and should not be confused with the standard Base car.
