Even though it's more expensive now than it once was, the 2023 Nissan GT-R remains a bargain in the supercar category. Real-world performance is exceptional, though it doesn't feel as sporty on a track.

Overview

Written by automotive expert Michael Cantu

2/27/2023

When the current-generation Nissan GT-R was first released, most were shocked by its mind-bending acceleration, the way it devoured corners and its low price tag for a high-performance sports car. But that was way back in 2009. A lot has changed since then, but the GT-R has mostly stayed the same with the exception of mild updates along the way. As a result, rivals have caught up and surpassed the GT-R in overall performance, technology and drivability.

There's still some appeal to the 2023 Nissan GT-R. It's bonkers fast and easy to drive. The driving experience is also a bit of a throwback to a less tech-oriented age, which is rather ironic given that many people criticized those early GT-Rs for being too techy. But overall we recommend checking out the GT-R's rivals that include the Audi R8, BMW M4, Chevrolet Corvette Z06 and Porsche 911. Those high-end sports cars are newer, more refined and deliver just as much, if not more, physics-defying performance. Check out our Expert Rating below to get our test team's full review of the GT-R's performance, tech and more.

Edmunds Expert Rating

edmunds TESTED

Driven, tested, rated by automotive expert Cameron Rogers

Average

7.4

out of 10

We drove the 2023 Nissan GT-R on our test track and on real roads. Our Edmunds team conducts rigorous independent vehicle testing, driving 500,000 miles a year.

Performance

8/10

How does the GT-R drive? The GT-R delivers astounding acceleration, while the all-wheel-drive system allows novices to pilot this sports car with surprising ease. The throttle tip-in is lazy. It makes acceleration easy to manage at all speeds, but the engine should be more responsive when you push the pedal. The transmission is slow to respond to inputs unless you're shifting manually.

Launch control acceleration is explosive — a 0-60 mph time of 3.1 seconds makes the GT-R one of the quickest cars we've ever tested. Stopping from 60 mph takes 109 feet, which is decent but a few feet longer than the competition.

Comfort

6.5/10

How comfortable is the GT-R? The adaptive suspension works well to eliminate bumpiness from poorly paved roads. The ride is firm yet acceptable with the dampers in their normal setting. Switch to Comfort and the ride is no rougher than in a sporty Audi. The seats lack adjustment, and their aggressive lumbar support might be a deal-breaker.

The GT-R's powertrain noise might appeal to those who want to be reminded they are driving a machine, but it comes off as unrefined. The climate system is a bit finicky too. Our test car blew cold air at high fan speeds when set at 78 on a 70-degree day. Manual control is best here.

Interior

7.5/10

How’s the interior? Improvements throughout its life span have kept the GT-R's cabin looking fresh. It's easy to get in and out of, and the view out isn't as bunker-like as it is in other sports cars. Most of the controls are easy to use, but the active exhaust and driving aid buttons are well hidden near your knees.

The cabin is fairly roomy as sports cars go. It definitely doesn't feel claustrophobic, and two people can fit without bumping shoulders. Anybody 6 feet tall or shorter will fit fine. Taller folks might have to scrunch down to avoid brushing against the headliner. There's not much room in the back for people, but you can at least toss some gear back there.

Technology

6.5/10

How’s the tech? While enhancements have been made to other areas over the last decade, the infotainment system is quite dated. Navigation is inaccurate, and the voice control system is clumsy. There's Apple CarPlay but no Android Auto smartphone integration.

Front and rear parking sensors are standard, as is a rearview camera. That's it. There are no other driving aids or assistance systems to help with the mundanities of day-to-day traffic. Though sight lines out of the rear are pretty good, a blind-spot warning system would be a welcome addition.

Storage

7/10

How’s the storage? Though the trunk is relatively large, the tall liftover height makes loading and unloading items awkward. You have to drop gear into the cargo hold, and removing heavy items is difficult. The button to open it is at your lower shin, so it's best to use the key fob. Interior storage is limited, but you can use the rear seats as extra shelf space.

Fuel Economy

8/10

How’s the fuel economy? The GT-R is rated at 18 mpg combined (16 city/22 highway), which is in line with other supercars and slightly more efficient than V8-powered rivals. It delivered 20.1 mpg on our highway-heavy evaluation route, so it's fair to assume you will be able to match the EPA numbers if you drive with restraint.

Value

7/10

Is the GT-R a good value? Prices have crept up over the last decade. You still get a lot for the money, and the cabin doesn't look as low-rent as before. A center stack redesign from a few years back helps keep the GT-R's interior look current. There are fewer exotic materials than in rivals, and powertrain noises constantly sound like something is breaking. Some warranty coverage isn't as robust as what rivals offer.

Wildcard

9/10

We like the GT-R's budget supercar vibe. It delivers exceptional handling on mountain roads, and acceleration is rapid at full throttle. While the first models of this generation were chided as being too digital, the GT-R's responses and feedback seem analog in this day and age. Its understated, almost bulky design doesn't have the visual impact of an exotic sports car, but there's enough going on that passersby will recognize the GT-R as something special.

2023 Nissan GT-R trim level differences

The 2023 Nissan GT-R is a four-passenger coupe that's available in 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 model and 600 hp and 481 lb-ft in the Nismo model. The engine is paired to a six-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission and standard all-wheel drive. Both models share most of the same features, but the Nismo version gets a number of performance upgrades. Feature highlights include: Compare the 2023 Nissan GT-R trim levels in-depth.

Which GT-R trim does Edmunds recommend?

The Premium trim provides more than enough performance for most people and is the trim we recommend. Its notable standard features include a sport-tuned suspension with electronically controlled Bilstein shock absorbers, Brembo performance brakes, leather upholstery and a Bose audio system. But if you plan on taking your GT-R to the track on a regular basis, the track-specced Nismo version could be the way to go.
