2026 Nissan Z at Team Nissan of New Hampshire in Manchester, NH
The 2026 Nissan Z is a high-performance sports coupe for driving enthusiasts in Manchester, NH who want a blend of heritage, power, and modern driving thrills. With a twin-turbo V6, rear-wheel drive, and striking design, the Z delivers an exhilarating ride whether you're cruising city streets or taking on mountain backroads.
Interior
The 2026 Z’s interior is driver-focused, seating two passengers with supportive sport seats and a clean, performance-oriented layout. Premium materials, a compact cockpit design, and a modern digital-analog instrument cluster put key driving data — such as boost, rpm, and vehicle status — right where you need it.
Connectivity is modern and intuitive: every trim includes a touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto for seamless smartphone integration. Available upgrades (in higher trims) include premium audio and performance-oriented digital displays to complement the car's sporty character.
Exterior
The 2026 Z sports a classic coupe profile: a long hood, compact rear, and aggressive lines that capture the Z heritage. LED headlights, sharp aerodynamic styling, and available forged alloy wheels give the Z a bold presence on New Hampshire roads. Its size, stance, and rear-wheel drive proportions make it both head-turning and performance-ready.
Performance
Under the hood, the 2026 Nissan Z is powered by a 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged V6 engine delivering 400 horsepower and 350 lb-ft of torque on Sport and Performance trims. All trims come with rear-wheel drive. Drivers have a choice between a 6-speed manual (for pure enthusiast driving) or a 9-speed automatic (for smooth everyday driving). For those seeking top-end performance, the NISMO trim increases engine output to 420 horsepower and 384 lb-ft of torque, paired only with the 9-speed automatic for maximum performance and control.
The Z’s chassis, tuned suspension, and mechanical limited-slip differential combine to offer spirited handling, confident cornering, and an engaging drive — whether on tight mountain roads or the open highway.
Safety & Driver-Assist Features
Though focused on performance, the 2026 Z includes modern comfort and safety amenities. Standard equipment includes advanced infotainment with smartphone integration, while available driver-assist options (depending on trim) provide additional convenience and confidence for daily driving around Manchester or longer trips.
