The 2024 Porsche 718 Boxster: How Does It Stand Up to the Competition?
Power and Performance
With the Boxster, you can choose from a formidable four-engine lineup. The base model gets 300 horsepower, showing off a top speed of 170 miles per hour and a zero-to-60 time of less than 5 seconds. At the top tier, you can outfit your Boxster with a six-cylinder engine that delivers 493 horses. This powertrain gets an incredible 3.2-second zero-to-60 time and a 191-mph top speed.
In comparison, the BMW M2 comes with just one engine that provides 453 hp. Both the BMW Z4 and the Toyota Supra offer a maximum of 382 hp. The Boxster also offers many exclusive performance features such as electromechanical power steering with optional Power Steering Plus, Porsche Active Suspension Management, Porsche Torque Vectoring, Porsche Stability Management, and PASM Sport Suspension.
Interior Space and Design
The 718 Boxster can comfortably accommodate two passengers, with generous headroom and legroom for a two-seater vehicle. You’ll also have above-average cargo space of 4.4 cubic feet in the trunk and 4.2 cubic feet in the front trunk. The Lexus LC lacks a front trunk, offering between 3.4 and 5.4 cubic feet of rear trunk space, depending on the model. The Mercedes-Benz SL Class has 7.2 cubic feet in the rear trunk and doesn’t provide a front trunk option.
The Boxster shows off the high-end finishes you expect from a premium sports car. Some models in the class rely on hard plastics rather than soft-touch materials or display flaws in build quality. You can emphasize the seamless, sleek appeal of the 718 Boxster with the design-forward Style Edition.
Luxury Features and Amenities
The base model of the Boxster incorporates dual-zone automatic climate control, heated front seats, keyless entry, and leather upholstery. A selection of five different seats, more than any competing vehicle, helps you find the balance between comfort and sport.
You’ll find almost endless ways to customize any trim of the Boxster. The base model alone offers 20 exterior paint hues, six wheel designs, and six upholstery options, including two-tone Black and Bordeaux Red leather. Competitors have a much more limited selection of styles. For example, the Supra offers five exterior paint colors, while the 2024 Mercedes-Benz GT includes just one seat style.
