Last updated August 4, 2026

About the 2025 Porsche 718 Boxster
982 generation (the third modern Boxster generation, sold as the 718), introduced for 2017; 2025 is the final US model year before current production ended in October 2025.
The 2025 718 Boxster is Porsche’s open-top, mid-engine two-seat sports car for drivers who want balance, precision, and a more intimate driving feel than a larger grand tourer. Porsche leans hard on the roadster idea: roof-down driving, a low center of gravity from the boxer engine layout, sharp cornering, and a cockpit built around the driver. Compared with rivals, its standout trait is how naturally it combines everyday use with serious sports-car responses.
The 2025 lineup ranges from the straightforward 300-hp base roadster to the Style Edition, which adds distinctive trim, 20-inch wheels, and a leather interior with contrast stitching. The 350-hp S provides a stronger turbocharged engine, while the performance-focused GTS 4.0 pairs a 394-hp flat-six with a lower sport suspension and a limited-slip differential for better traction during hard cornering.
