Like the exterior, the interior design of the 370Z is thoroughly modern yet reflects the design of the original 240Z and every Z that has come before it. The 370Z's interior was designed to fulfill 2 goals: to support and enhance driver performance during spirited driving and offer high levels of comfort and utility for normal commuting and around-town activities. The traditional 2-seat layout is built around a deeply scooped instrument panel featuring gauges that give the interior a neo-classic look, a full-length center console separating the driver and passenger's seats. The driver's seat is positioned to be at the center of the cars rotational axis to give the driver a more accurate driving feel.

Thin “A” pillars were positioned for the best visibility. Gauge size has been increased over the previous generation design to improve readability including a 15 percent increase in the tachometer and adjusting the gauge angle for a better view. The instrument panel retains the traditional 3-pod cluster with oil temperature, voltmeter and clock, while the speedometer and tachometer now include an “initial sweep” function, coming alive when the Z is first started.
