Frequently asked questions

What are the Nissan 350Z Roadster trim levels?

In the final roadster lineup, the trims are Enthusiast, Touring, and Grand Touring. Enthusiast covers the sports-car essentials, Touring adds cabin comforts, and Grand Touring adds stronger factory brakes and stability control.

What is the 350Z Enthusiast trim?

The Enthusiast is the straightforward, driver-focused roadster in the final lineup. It has the 306-horsepower V6, limited-slip differential, HID headlights, power seats, and power soft top, but uses cloth seating and simpler audio.

What is the 350Z Touring trim?

The Touring is the comfort-focused middle trim in the final roadster lineup. It keeps the Enthusiast’s V6, rear-wheel drive, limited-slip differential, and power top while adding heated leather-appointed seats and Bose audio.

What is the 350Z Grand Touring trim?

The Grand Touring is the fullest factory version of the final 350Z Roadster. It combines heated leather-appointed seats and Bose audio with Brembo brakes and stability control, while retaining the same 306-horsepower V6.

What does the 350Z Touring add over the Enthusiast?

The Touring mainly adds comfort. In the final roadster lineup, it replaces the Enthusiast’s cloth seating and simpler audio with heated leather-appointed seats and a seven-speaker Bose system with a six-disc CD changer.

What does the 350Z Grand Touring add over the Touring?
