2017 Nissan 370Z: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2017 Nissan 370Z is a carryover year with no major changes from 2016. The only noted update is a paint-color change, which does not meaningfully affect used-car shoppers.
About the 2017 Nissan 370Z
6th-generation Nissan Z car (Z34/370Z), introduced for 2009; 2017 is a late-cycle year just before the small 2018 appearance and manual-clutch update.
Nissan positions the 370Z as an old-school, driver-first two-seat sports car: low center of gravity, short wheelbase, rear-wheel drive, strong naturally aspirated V6 power, and a cockpit built around the driver. Its core appeal is directness rather than gadget count. Compared with larger pony cars, it feels smaller and more intimate; compared with newer rivals, it offers a more analog, physical sports-car experience.
The 2017 370Z remains a focused two-seat sports car in coupe and roadster form. Sport models add stronger brakes, a limited-slip differential, and forged wheels, while Touring emphasizes leather seating, navigation, and upgraded audio. NISMO is the most track-focused version, with a 350-hp V6, firmer suspension tuning, aerodynamic bodywork, and heavily bolstered Recaro seats.
