The interior of the 2016 Nissan 370Z Coupe is undoubtedly luxurious and classy in nature. The interior is based on the ergonomics that exudes the sharpness of a sports car. The cabin embraces functionality over style even though the style is inherent in the typical Japanese design.

The materials used in the cabin are of refined and upscale quality that feel smooth to touch and feel. The cabin is primarily built up of leather surfaces and leather paddings. It also includes a leather upholstery. In terms of seating, the Nissan 370Z can easily accommodate two occupants.

The exterior of the 2016 Nissan 370Z Coupe is a great looking sports car that looks stunning on the road. The newest 370Z includes some of the designs from its older models but attempts to incorporate more recent contemporary designs to relate to the current generation of automobile enthusiasts.

The main exterior features of the 2016 Nissan 370Z Coupe include:
Nissan has been consistent in providing adequate safety features to its models over the years and the 2016 Nissan 370Z is no less. The Nissan 370Z is equipped with all the standard safety features that are required for crash mitigation and crash prevention. However, neither the NHTSA nor the IIHS has crash tested this Nissan 370Z Coupe. However, it is known that the 2016 Nissan 370Z Coupe includes a plethora of safety features such as airbags, stability control, emergency braking assist, and so on. The main safety features of the 2016 Nissan 370Z Coupe include:
The Dodge Challenger has few advantages over the base trim Nissan 370Z. You can buy the former with a V8 engine, while there is no option for a larger engine on the Nissan. The jump to V8 makes the Dodge more expensive and less economical to run though, which will definitely hurt your bank balance. The Dodge Challenger is a 5 seater muscle car, which adds a few practicality points.
The V6 trim of the Challenger is around 3 grand cheaper than the base trim of 370Z Coupe and also comes with an 8 speed automatic or 6-speed manual transmission. However, the design of the Dodge Challenger is pretty outdated. The fuel capacity of the Dodge Challenger is lower than that of the 370Z. Nonetheless, this car is extremely spacious and provides lots of space for storing cargo, winning factor for a daily driver.
The Hyundai Genesis Coupe is a frontrunner in the race of budget sports car, with a starting price of $26,950. Unlike the Dodge Challenger, the Hyundai Genesis looks great, sports a good quality interior and houses a high-performance engine.
The Genesis is a two-seater dynamic sports car that gives very tough competition to the 370Z Coupe. Also, the Hyundai has somewhat-usable rear seats, which make it a more practical option as well.
The EcoBoost Mustang is one of the biggest tricks Ford has ever pulled out of its bag. It has the performance and the road-presence of a muscle car, and yet it has great MPG numbers, great handling, and most of all, a very affordable MSRP.
The 370Z, despite being an extremely capable budget-friendly Sportscar with slightly more performance, still feels a bit too tame compared to the Mustang.
The Subaru BRZ is probably the only other purpose-built sportscar here, just like the 370Z Coupe. For a budget-friendly sportscar with low power output and performance, Subaru BRZ manages to be a surprisingly great package. The athletic handling of Subaru BRZ is bound to charm every car lover.
The 2016 Nissan 370z Coupe is a stylish sports car that successfully prioritizes and relies on the performance aspect of the vehicle. The strong engine combined with the intelligent marketing strategy has made this Nissan quite popular. Not only does the 2016 Nissan 370Z look great on the road, its insides are also quite luxurious and it is definitely worth the money.
