The Nissan Z is a two-seat rear-wheel-drive sports coupe that revives one of the longest-running nameplates in the segment. Aimed squarely at driving enthusiasts who want an affordable, Japanese-bred sports car with genuine performance credentials, the Z competes in a small but passionate corner of the market where style and driver engagement take center stage.
The 2024 Nissan Z has not been crash-tested by NHTSA, so it carries no Safety Index. Its safety record here is built from 2 recalls and 1 owner complaint on file, giving it a light recall and complaint burden.

Reviewers generally praise the Nissan Z for its engaging rear-wheel-drive dynamics, its characterful twin-turbocharged powertrain, and a cabin that blends retro styling cues with modern technology. Some critics point to interior materials and refinement that feel a step behind European rivals at a similar price, but most agree the Z delivers strong driving satisfaction and distinctive road presence for its segment.
