2023 GT-R Interior
Everything about the GT-R is about refining and perfecting the original recipe. This is evident in the interior too, where you will find a layout that hasn't changed much since its original design. The only thing that has changed is the quality of the materials, which have evolved much since their first release. Still, there is evidence of this car's age in the analog cluster and the preference for buttons over touch-sensitive screens everywhere - not that we're complaining. And just as with a Porsche 911, the two rear seats are utterly impractical for anything more than a shopping bag. Here, everything is angled towards the driver, highlighting the GT-R's focus on driving above all else.

Seating and Interior Space
The front seats in the GT-R are both heated and feature power adjustment. The driver gets eight-way adjustment while the passenger makes do with four levels of adjustment. Regardless of which seat you're in, there's plenty of support thanks to the thick bolsters. While this may be great on the track, you may expect some discomfort on long trips. Fortunately, the cushioning of the leather seats is great, and you get just as much comfort as support. Getting in and out is easy too, and visibility, for the most part, is great. Checking your blind spots is a real challenge though, and the rear seats are suitable for no one old enough to form their own sentences.

Interior Colors and Materials
As standard, the interior of the GT-R Premium is appointed with black leather and faux suede inserts. These are complemented by aluminum accents on the pedals, steering wheel, door handles, and other places. It's not overdone either and is balanced by a wash of dry carbon fiber in a matte finish that somehow manages to look both classy and racy. If you want something a little more premium, semi-aniline leather is available in Kuro Night, Rakuda Tan, Red Amber, and Hai Gray alternatives. Each of these requires the addition of the Premium Interior package at $4,280, but at least if you get some of this premium cow hide (we recommend the black of Kuro Night), you can also paint the body in that gorgeous Bayside Blue finish. As standard, the steering wheel and shift knob are wrapped in leather.
2023 GT-R Trunk and Cargo Space
Can't we just skip past this part? It's clear that the GT-R is a car built with a singular purpose in mind: to go as fast as possible as efficiently as possible with less of a focus on all the other, regular uses one would assign to a car. Yet, despite being a racy vehicle, the trunk space of the GT-R is actually pretty competitive. There are 8.8 cubic feet behind the rear seats - enough for a couple of golf bags or some weekend luggage for you and your sidekick. Obviously, if having more cargo space than a 911 driver isn't impressive enough, you can use the pitiful rear seats for extra luggage or shopping.
In the cabin, you get a pair of narrow door pockets, a reasonably sized glove box, a center console tray, and a storage bin in the center armrest.

2023 GT-R Infotainment and Features
Features
The GT-R lacks the modern features that you'd expect to find in something that is so good in so many other respects. You won't find a digital cluster, ventilated seats, or soft-closing doors here. Instead, you get what is deemed as necessary, with standard equipment limited to dual-zone automatic climate control, heated power-adjustable front seats, cruise control, power-folding heated wing mirrors, keyless entry with push-button ignition, automatic LED headlights, hill start assist, DampTronic adaptive suspension, a rearview camera, front and rear parking sensors, a rev-matching system for the gearbox, and a variable Fujitsubo titanium exhaust. Okay, so what about the options list? Besides some miscellaneous accessories, there isn't really one. That Premium Interior package we've mentioned a couple of times now refers only to the finish of the available semi-aniline upholstery.
Infotainment
For a car described as "too digital" when it first arrived on the scene, the GT-R is surprisingly outdated by today's standards when it comes to its infotainment system. It's comprised of a Nissan Connect eight-inch touchscreen display with multiple buttons for supplementary input and supports Apple CarPlay but not Android Auto. Besides that, you get HD Radio and SiriusXM satellite radio, along with navigation, voice recognition, Bluetooth audio streaming, a pair of USB ports, and an 11-speaker Bose sound system with two subwoofers. On the whole, this all sounds great, but the system responds too slowly and really ought to have been upgraded by now. At least the audio quality is excellent.
