You may have heard of the adage that There’s no replacement for displacement, but it doesn’t apply to the Porsche 718 Cayman when you compare it to the Nissan 370Z in 2022. While it may not be true, there are plenty to consider when comparing the two vehicles in terms of features, performance, and overall value. This comparison will help you understand why the Porsche 718 Cayman will be your best choice for all your needs in 2022.
Design & Style
If you’re looking for a vehicle with an aggressive and sporty look, you can’t go wrong with the 2022 Porsche 718 Cayman, but if you’d prefer something more elegant and refined, then it’s going to be tough to beat the 2022 Nissan 370Z. Although they have very different designs (with different body shapes), both vehicles have beautiful exteriors which are quite stylish, appealing, and great-looking to look at (see all available colors). Both vehicles are available in some incredible colors, which will make them stand out on any road, although their overall design is so well-designed that there’s little doubt that either one of these vehicles will do anything but attract plenty of attention wherever they go.
While not quite a compact sports car, both cars have similar dimensions and can seat three people comfortably, although different interior design techniques are used. While they look similar at first glance, these cars have nearly nothing in common regarding design philosophies; and neither is superior in that regard. Where they differ most profoundly is in their choice of materials, both opting for mostly hard plastic interiors instead of leather trim found on most other sports cars at their price point. While that might seem like a negative at first (especially to potential buyers who want top-notch luxury), it has its advantages–as well as its share of drawbacks–that make it a better option for owners looking for a performance vehicle over all else.
Technology & Safety
Although they’re two completely different vehicles with completely different target markets, safety features have been making their way into everyday vehicles more and more recently, and these two are no exception. For example, both come standard with airbags and automatic seat belts; but both offer optional technology for an extra layer of protection. The 2022 Nissan 370Z comes with optional forward-collision warning and automatic emergency braking (those features have become more common as time has gone on), while the 2022 Porsche 718 Cayman offers optional adaptive cruise control to keep you in your lane when you get behind a slower vehicle on long stretches of highway or automatically adjust speed in stop-and-go traffic without any input from you at all.
Performance
The 2022 Porsche 718 Cayman has a 2-liter 12-valve 6-cylinder engine, with a power output of 394 horsepower @ 7000 rpm and torque output of 309 lb.-ft. @ 5000 rpm (all information based on gas mileage estimates on average; may vary depending on fuel grade). The 2022 Nissan 370Z has a 4-cylinder 24-valve 3179cc turbocharged engine with a power output of 276 horsepower @ 5800 rpm and torque output of 262 lb.-ft.
The Bottom Line
If you’re in the market for a premium sports car to rip around your neighborhood or on the track, then the 2022 Porsche 718 Cayman is your pick. The combination of aggressive styling and pure power makes it an awesome sports car with loads of presence on any street corner.
