Market Position and Competitiveness
The 370Z’s pricing strategy keeps it competitive among rear-drive sports coupes, especially as the Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) figures remain unchanged from the previous model year. For context, the starting price undercuts that of the 2013 Nissan Maxima, which began at $33,560 in the US. The combination of unchanged pricing, proven performance, and minor feature enhancements helps the 2016 370Z maintain its appeal for sports car enthusiasts and buyers seeking a balance between value and performance.
