Expert Verdict

A drop-top version of the Porsche 718 Cayman, the Boxster offers the same familial traits. The 718 Boxster delivers sublime handling and stirring engines. It’s also one of the few sports cars to be available with a manual transmission. Storage is limited, and it’s expensive, but perfection has a price.

Pros
  • Many customization options
  • Robust engine choices
  • Peppy driving dynamics
Cons
  • Competitors have more tech features
  • Costs more than some rivals

2025 Porsche 718 Boxster Review

Written by Warren Clarke - Edited by Elizabeth Maki

The 2025 Porsche 718 Boxster is a luxury sports convertible with two seats. The 718 Boxster is for drivers seeking a sports car with eager driving dynamics and a wealth of optional amenities.

Porsche gives buyers a choice of several powertrains. The base engine is a 4-cylinder with 300 horsepower, and a 350-horsepower four-cylinder is also on the roster. A 4.0-liter 6-cylinder makes 394 horsepower in the GTS and 493 horsepower in the top Spyder RS. Rear-wheel drive (RWD) is standard, and buyers can choose a 6-speed manual or 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.

This Porsche’s engines are built to impress. Every powertrain in the lineup is a winner, but the 4.0-liter 6-cylinder is your best bet for maximizing the thrill quotient. Responsive driving dynamics complement the engines, making the 718 Boxster a blast to drive.

Endless customization options allow you to tailor this car to suit your specific vision. Available add-ons include LED headlights, ventilated seats, and upgraded Bose and Burmester audio systems.

There are also some shortcomings to keep in mind. The 718 Boxster has a relatively steep price, costing more than many rivals in its class, yet its competitors have more tech features.

What's the Best 2025 Porsche 718 Boxster Trim for You?

Which Trim Is the Best Value

The base trim offers superb value. It has RWD, the 300-horsepower powertrain, 18-inch wheels, partial leather upholstery, heated front seats, a 7-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay, satellite radio, and dual-zone automatic climate control.

Best Trim for Fuel Economy

The base 718 Boxster, which uses the 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine, earns the best mileage in the lineup when paired with the automatic transmission. That setup earns an EPA-estimated 24 mpg combined city/highway.

Best Trim for Cargo Space

All 718 Boxsters have a combined 9.7 cubic feet of cargo room between the front and rear trunks.

Top-of-the-Line Trim

The Spyder RS is the top trim in the range. It has the 493-horsepower engine and a sport-tuned suspension.

5th new Porsche, all great cars

Love the manual transmission and analog feel. No EV, no hybrid, no turbo, plenty of top down fun.

Love my 718 Boxster GTS 4.0L

The car is quick in all gears, steering is phenomenal with no jerky turn in, balance is smooth and linear through the turns even with run flats. Interior is modern and comfortable. Exterior looks are amazing.
