Our take on this /// Verdict

The Porsche 718 Boxster is, without a doubt, one of the most exceptional roadsters available in the Indian market. From my experience behind the wheel, it is clear that this vehicle sets a dynamic benchmark in its class. The 718 Boxsters handling is impeccable, with a chassis that is among the best in the business. The transition to a 2.0-litre 4-cylinder turbo engine has not diminished its performance it still delivers a thrilling drive with excellent grip and poise. For those who can afford it, the GTS 4.0 variant with its six-cylinder engine offers an even more exhilarating experience. Overall, the 718 Boxster remains the best of its kind, offering a perfect blend of everyday usability and extraordinary handling capabilities.

Price

In India, the Porsche 718 Boxster comes with a significant price tag, reflecting its premium quality and performance. The ex-showroom price for the base model starts around 1.04 crore, while the top-of-the-line GTS 4.0 variant can cost upwards of 1.30 crore. On-road prices, including taxes and other charges, can range from approximately 1.20 crore to 1.50 crore or more, depending on the state and local taxes. While this is certainly a hefty investment, the 718 Boxsters unparalleled performance, luxurious features, and the prestige of owning a Porsche make it a worthwhile consideration for those who value high-performance driving and exclusivity.

Latest Updates

Saturday, 09 November 2024 11:44 PM The 2024 Porsche 718 Boxster lineup has been enhanced with the introduction of a new Style Edition model. This edition builds on the base Boxster, adding features such as 20-inch wheels, hood and door graphics, special floormats, illuminated door sill plates, and embossed Porsche logos on the headrests. It also debuts a new Ruby Star Neo paint color. I think this addition is a great way to give the base model a bit more flair without breaking the bank.

Saturday, 09 November 2024 10:19 AM Porsche is gearing up to launch an electric version of the 718 Boxster around 2025. The new electric model will be produced on the same line as the 911 and marks Porsches third electric vehicle. This move is part of Porsches broader strategy to electrify its lineup. I believe this is a significant step towards a more sustainable future for the brand.

Saturday, 09 November 2024 08:24 PM The 2024 Porsche 718 Boxster Spyder RS has been unveiled, boasting a 493-hp 4.0-liter flat-six engine borrowed from the Cayman GT4 RS. This new model replaces the regular Spyder and offers exceptional performance with a 9,000-rpm redline. I think this is a thrilling addition for performance enthusiasts.

Wednesday, 09 October 2024 10:20 PM Porsche has introduced a new Manthey-Racing upgrade for the 718 Cayman GT4 RS, which is now available in the US. This kit enhances the cars track performance without voiding the factory warranty. While this is more relevant to the Cayman, it shows Porsches commitment to performance tuning. I believe such upgrades can significantly enhance the driving experience for track enthusiasts.

Tuesday, 14 May 2024 07:48 PM The 2024 Porsche 718 Boxster continues to impress with its driving dynamics, even in the base model. The car features a turbocharged 2.5-liter flat-four engine producing 300 hp and a six-speed manual transmission. However, the interior tech is starting to show its age, particularly the 7-inch touchscreen. I think the driving experience makes up for some of the outdated tech, but its something to consider.

Mileage

Wednesday, 20 November 2024 11:25 AM When it comes to mileage, the Porsche 718 Boxster is not designed for fuel efficiency but for performance. In real-world driving conditions in India, you can expect an average fuel economy of around 8-10 kml, which is reasonable given its powerful engine. However, running costs will be higher due to the premium fuel it requires and the occasional need for high-performance maintenance. If youre concerned about mileage, this might not be the most economical choice, but for those who prioritize driving pleasure, the 718 Boxster is well worth the extra cost.
