After the U.S, Nissan has also announced Canadian pricing for the 2023 Nissan Z and as with its southern neighbor, it undercuts the price of its biggest competitor by a big chunk of money. Prices for the new Z will start at $48,448 CAD ($37,491 USD at current exchange rates (all prices include $1,950 CAD destination fee).
In fact, every trim level of Nissan Z, even the limited production Proto Spec, is less expensive than the base model Toyota Supra, which starts at $68,460 or $70,411 CAD with destination ($54,486 USD). Canada, though, is only supplied with the 3.0-liter straight-six model, unlike in the U.S. market, where a 2.0-liter turbo four-cylinder is also offered.
From launch, the 2023 Nissan Z will be sold in three trim levels in the country: The Z Coupe Sport, the Z Coupe Performance, and the Z Coupe Proto Spec. All are powered by the same 400 hp (298 kW/405 PS) 3.0-liter V6 turbocharged engine and all are offered with either a six-speed manual transmission or a nine-speed automatic, with the latter adding an extra $1,500 CAD ($1,160 USD) to the price of the vehicle.

The Sport trim is offered with several safety tech features such as Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection, Blind Spot Warning, Lane Departure Warning, Rear Cross-Traffic Alert, High Beam Assist, and more.
The Performance grade adds an eight-speaker Bose Audio system, NissanConnect Services, a mechanical Limited Slip Differential, and 19-inch RAYS super lightweight forged aluminum alloy wheels that come with Bridgestone Potenza S007 high-performance tires.
The Proto Spec, meanwhile, includes yellow brake calipers with the Z logo, Bronze-colored 19-inch aluminum wheels, an exclusive shift knob (though you have to have chosen the manual to get that), and Proto Spec leather seats with yellow accents.
“The Nissan Z is our company’s heart and soul, bringing sports car design, performance and excitement to a broad range of buyers, starting with the introduction of the first generation more than 50 years ago,” said Ken Hearn, Director of Marketing, Nissan Canada Inc. “With a starting MSRP of $46,498 CAD [plus $1,950 destination], this latest version is ready to create a whole new generation of Nissan Z fans when it comes to market this summer.”
The 2023 Nissan Z will be available in dealerships across Canada starting this summer.
