- The next generation Nissan Z is still several years away.
- It won’t arrive until around 2030.
- Until then, Nissan plans to focus on creating special editions.
Nissan will not launch the next generation Z any time soon. Instead, the automaker plans to focus on creating special editions of its sports cars before discussing what comes next.
Talk with DrivePonz Pandikuthira, senior vice president, head of product and planning for Nissan America, told the publication that the automaker plans to introduce a heritage-based special edition “between now and the next three years,” adding, “And then we’re actively talking about what the next generation will look like.”
The Z isn’t a big seller for the brand, but the automaker sold more than 5,000 coupes last year, up 73.4 percent. Sales are expected to fall in 2026 when Nissan launches the 2027 model. The company is reducing production to better meet customer demand due to the vehicle’s niche appeal.
We expect the new Z to arrive after the debut of the next-generation GT-R, which Nissan will reveal before 2030. The current-generation Z has only been on sale for four model years, arriving stateside in 2023, and just received a mid-cycle refresh, which we’ll get in 2027.

Motorcycle Pickup1: If we had to bet, we’d bet the next-generation Nissan Z will go on sale for the 2032 model year. The automaker just gave the sports car a mid-cycle refresh for 2027, which will go on sale over the next four years, bringing the current car’s life cycle into the early 2030s.
