\n 2026 Nissan Z Nismo manual<\/p>\n

Nissan Australia has locked in pricing for the updated 2026 Z locally, with the sports coupe receiving a facelift alongside the addition of a three-pedal Z Nismo.<\/p>\n

Unveiled globally in January<\/a>, the 2026 Nissan Z has been updated with a new face which makes it appear even more like certain versions of the 280Z \u2013 which saw the grille split by a chrome bumper \u2013 while its new-look machined-lip wheels have also been inspired by the Z31 300ZX.<\/p>\n

Now priced from $76,800 before on-road costs across both the nine-speed automatic and six-speed manual variants, it represents a $640 increase on its pre-update price.<\/p>\n

In addition to the new bodywork, there\u2019s also a new hero paint colour, with Unryu Green taking inspiration from the original Fairlady Z\u2019s Grand Prix Green paintwork. Boulder Gray \u2013 a two-tone finish with a black roof \u2013 also rejoins the lineup<\/p>\n

In the cabin, buyers can opt for a new tan upholstery for no extra cost, while there\u2019s also now a new wireless smartphone charger, a frameless auto-dimming rear-view mirror, a revised start-up animation, plus a new design for the key.<\/p>\n

Under the skin, the standard Nissan Z also gets Nismo-tuned monotube dampers with larger pistons, claimed to deliver better ride comfort and handling.<\/p>\n

However, the big focus of the 2026 Nissan Z is the Nismo variant, which is now available as a six-speed manual, having previously been automatic only until the three-pedal was launched in December 2025<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Both Nissan Z Nismo transmission variants share the same price of $95,000 plus on-roads, representing a price increase of $395.<\/p>\n

It retains the same design as previously, with the only other key change being its front brakes, now featuring two-piece front rotors, said to be derived from the R35 Nissan GT-R.<\/p>\n

Standard features in the Z carry across, such as its mechanical limited-slip differential, active noise control, four-way power-adjustable seats with heating, leather upholstery, 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, 8.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system, and eight-speaker Bose sound system.<\/p>\n

The Nismo adds \u2013 among other features \u2013 the larger Akebono front brakes, Recaro seats, a unique bodykit and interior trim, as well as Rays 19-inch wheels shod in Dunlop SP Sport Maxx GT600 tyres.<\/p>\n
