The 2017 Nissan 370Z is available as either a coupe or convertible, and comes in six trim levels: the base 370Z, Sport, Touring, Sport Tech, Nismo, and Nismo Tech. At base, the 370Z comes with 18-inch wheels with summer performance tires, LED running lights and taillights, keyless entry and push-button ignition, automatic bi-xenon headlights, and more. The Sport is coupe-only and adds performance and exterior improvements, while the Touring adds creature comforts. The Sport Tech combines the features of the prior two trims, and the Nismo trim levels maximize the 370Z's performance.The 2017 370Z has sharp arrowhead headlights and the classic nose-heavy shape of two-door coupes or convertibles. The model isn't just made to look impressive, for its body design cuts down on wind resistance, gives it a lower curb weight than the competition, and is just narrow enough to improve the turn radius.

The 370Z uses a 3.7-liter V6 engine with up to 332 horsepower and 270 lb-ft of torque. On the Nismo trim levels, this power is tuned up to 350 horsepower and 276 lb-ft of torque. The engine can be paired to either six-speed manual or seven-speed automatic transmission. With the automatic transmission, the 370Z gets up to 19 city miles per gallon and 26 highway mpg.

For performance car fans, the 370Z feels just right, able to steer responsively, holds perfectly on heavy curves, and easily syncs with the driver's shifting patterns. Compared to other cars, the 370Z makes driving feel particularly fun and welcoming. Side by side, larger and heavier sports cars will have difficulty keeping up with the 370Z , especially on winding paths. The Sport trim level greatly expands upon the 370Z's already high potential with upgraded brakes, lightweight 19-inch wheels, a limited-slip differential, and active noise control.

Automatic climate control is standard, as is a leather-wrapped steering wheel. When it comes to technology, all 370Z models have at least Bluetooth connectivity and a four-speaker sound system that takes CDs or auxiliary input. Go up one level to the Sport, and drivers will have an eight-speaker audio system. Higher trim levels either offer or include a seven-inch touchscreen, navigation, voice controls, satellite radio, and much more. Touring coupe models come with heated seats, while Touring convertible models have heated and ventilated seats.

Standard safety features on the 2017 Nissan 370Z include antilock brakes, stability control, and traction control. Coupe 370Z models use side curtain air bags to best protect the driver's body, and convertible models have upward side air bags that prioritize head protection. Drivers who go one trim level beyond base to the Sport will get a rearview backup camera.
