5 reasons to buy the 2022 Porsche 718 Boxster
1. An enthusiast’s dream
Look out for the GTS 4.0 trim for its naturally aspirated flat-six engine, offering an invigorating 394 horsepower. This model not only sounds glorious but also includes 20-inch wheels, upgraded sports seats, and the Sport Chrono package, elevating the driving experience to new heights. If you’re a Porsche fan who loves a spirited Sunday drive, this is the one for you.
2. Impressive trim lineup
The 2022 Boxster lineup includes the base Boxster, Boxster T, Boxster S, GTS 4.0, the limited-edition Boxster 25 Years, and the range-topping Boxster Spyder. Each trim offers a distinct driving experience, from the well-equipped base model to the performance-focused Spyder, ensuring you can find a Boxster to suit your driving style. The base model features amenities such as Apple CarPlay® connectivity and parking sensors, while higher trims add performance-orientated upgrades.
3. Sharp handling
Porsche's commitment to driving excellence is evident in the 718 Boxster's sharp handling and responsive steering. Whether navigating tight corners or cruising on the highway, the Boxster offers a connection to the road that few other sports cars can match. The Boxster T is a great starting point if you’re after a limited-slip differential for improved traction, but look out for the range-topping Spyder if you want a lower ride height and adjustable sports suspension.
4. Luxury and performance
Inside the 718 Boxster, luxury and performance exist in perfect balance. Standard features include a power-operated fabric convertible top, xenon headlights, heated front seats with power backrest adjustment, and a seven-inch touchscreen. Higher trims add even more luxury, such as the GTS 4.0's upgraded sports seats.
5. Range of standard and optional features
It’s easy to find a Boxster that suits you with a wide array of appearance, performance, and technology options. From LED headlights and ventilated seats to driver-assist features such as adaptive cruise control and a blind-spot monitor, you’ll be pleased with the level of tech in each 2022 718 Boxster. If music is important to you, there are also two premium audio systems to look out for — one from Bose® and one from Burmester®.
