Used 2021 Nissan GT-R Coupe Trims Comparison
Trim level differences
The 2021 Nissan GT-R is now available in just two trim levels: Premium and Nismo. Both are powered by a twin-turbocharged 3.8-liter V6 engine making 565 horsepower and 467 lb-ft of torque in the Premium and 600 horsepower and 481 lb-ft of torque in the Nismo model. That engine is paired to a six-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission and standard all-wheel drive. Both models come fairly well equipped, and the only major differences are a number of performance upgrades on the Nismo model.
Which GT-R trim does Edmunds recommend?
The Nismo version is the ultimate GT-R, but Nissan's asking price for what you get seems too steep to us. We say stick with the GT-R Premium. It's plenty fast and comes well loaded from the factory with features including LED lighting, full leather upholstery and, of course, a monster twin-turbocharged V6 engine.
