You can import the XYZ points as blocks - e.g. using Xls2Curve. If the imported block has an automatic attribute, it will display "its own" elevation (Z-coordinate).
 
See e.g.:

dear kyekwa,
yuo must plot to autocad Land Develompent, by importing point, in CAD LD you can show you elevation... then you extract then copy to autocad (not LD)...
only AutoCAD Land Development can showing elevation....
