Rent Nissan 370Z 2023 in Dubai

Yellow is the one colour that never needs explaining on a rear-wheel-drive coupe, and it's what you get when you book the Nissan Z 2023 in Dubai. One thing worth knowing before you go further: this is the redesigned Z that replaced the naturally aspirated 370Z for this model year, not carryover 370Z stock, so every number below belongs to the twin-turbo car. We bring it to your hotel, home or the airport, usually within one to two hours of booking. It's a strict two-seat coupe built around the drive, and the real question this page answers is whether that drive is worth the trade-offs for your week.

The engine, and how it drives

Under the bonnet sits a 3.0-litre twin-turbo V6 making 400 hp and 475 Nm of torque, sent to the rear wheels through a nine-speed automatic. That's a genuine step up from the old 370Z's naturally aspirated six: the turbos fill in the torque low down, so the car pulls hard from around 2,000 rpm instead of waiting for the redline to make its case. Nissan's figures put 0 to 100 km/h at about 4.5 seconds for the automatic, and top speed is electronically limited to 250 km/h, plenty for a fast, legal run on Sheikh Zayed Road with room to spare.

Rear-wheel drive and 400 hp mean the back end can step out if you get greedy with the throttle on a wet road or a painted lane marker, so ease into the first day rather than testing it cold. Left in the default drive mode it's composed in traffic and easy to place through a multi-storey car park. Switch to Sport on an open stretch and the exhaust note and throttle response sharpen noticeably. This car rewards a confident, experienced driver more than someone renting their first automatic.

Two seats, and the honest boot reality

There's no back seat to argue about, just two proper sports seats and a trunk behind them, so plan the booking around two people from the start. The boot holds close to 195 litres, which sounds small next to a hatchback but is typical for this class: think one soft bag and a laptop case each, not a pair of hard-shell suitcases stacked on top of each other. A DXB pickup for two people travelling light works fine. A DXB pickup with a family's worth of luggage doesn't, and no amount of clever packing changes that.

The car itself sits low and close to the ground, with roughly 122 mm of clearance, so speed bumps, the entrance ramp at a Marina tower and steep multi-storey exits all want a slow, angled approach. Treat every ramp like it might scrape, because on this car it can.

A yellow cabin, fuel and running cost

Yellow paint has one small practical upside in Dubai: it hides dust between washes better than black or white, though it does nothing for heat. Park the coupe in the open at midday in July and the small cabin gets properly hot, so give it a minute with the doors open before you climb back in. The upside of a tight two-seat cabin is that once the AC is running, the front vents pull the temperature down fast, because there's so little air to cool and no back seat competing for it.

The 62-litre tank and a twin-turbo V6 mean you'll see somewhere around 11 litres per 100 km in mixed city and highway driving, more if you lean on Sport mode. It runs on premium fuel. On the policy side, this car comes with 250 km a day included, then AED 0.5 for every extra kilometre, so a normal week of city driving plus one or two highway runs won't put you near the limit. Salik tolls and any RTA fines are the renter's responsibility, and seat belts are mandatory in both seats.

Who this is for, and when it makes sense

Book the Z if you're one or two people who want a proper rear-wheel-drive driving experience for a day, a weekend or a short trip, and you're comfortable with a firm ride and a car that expects some skill from its driver. It's not a car for learning to drive an automatic or for a first outing behind the wheel in a new city. You need to be 25 to rent it, and that minimum age is doing real work here, not just sitting on the page as a formality.

Skip it if your trip involves more than two people, real luggage or long, easy cruising, because the seats, the boot and the ride all argue against it. For a straight-line thrill and a colour that turns heads on Sheikh Zayed Road, it's one of the more honest sports coupes you can rent in this city: no false promises about practicality, just a strong engine and a chassis that wants to be driven.
