| The 370Z's seat are comfortable and supportive. The drivers side seats thigh bolster is shorter to ease use of the pedals. |
The holding layer includes the seats, knee pads and door trim support. The driver's seat is uniquely different from the passenger's seat, with lower seat cushion cutouts on the sides where the thighs rest–allowing the driver to push on the pedals without the seat fighting them. The seat also features an improved stiffer frame that helps it to better hold the driver in place during cornering. It also offers a 0.4-inch lower hip point than the previous 350Z's driver's seat. Both the driver and passenger's seats are structured with an anti-slip material in the main seating surface. The seats feature standard 8-way driver's/4-way passenger manual adjustments. Adjustable front seat Active Head Restraints are also standard. The door armrests have been designed to provide extra support when cornering and the kneepads are better integrated to help the driver maintain the proper position while cornering.

| The 370Z's rear hatch area is bigger and much more useable than the 350Z's because the rear strut tower brace is moved forward. |
In the rear is an open cargo area with enhanced storage and accessibility. Interior packaging is also enhanced from the 350Z, including relocating the rear strut brace forward and by adding a new “shelf” area behind the seats, creating an ideal area for storing briefcases. A retractable rear cargo area cover is standard on the 370Z Touring model.
If some of this stuff sounds like it has been borrowed from Nissans official press releases, it has! The new Z is offered in two models: 370Z and 370Z Touring with two available packages: Sport Package and Navigation. Standard interior comfort and convenience features include Nissan Intelligent Key with Push Button Start, power windows with one-touch auto up/down feature, power door locks with auto-lock feature, a center console box with a new non-intrusive cover design, automatic climate control, rear window defroster with timer, two 12-volt power outlets, four cupholders (two in door panels, two in center console), dual overhead map lights, locking glovebox and a AM/FM/CD/AUX 4-speaker audio system with illuminated steering wheel-mounted controls.
