2025 Porsche 718 Boxster Trims Comparison
Which 2025 718 Boxster trim does Edmunds recommend?
If you're going to splurge on a Porsche convertible, you might as well spend a bit more to get the big engine. The Boxster GTS 4.0 starts at about $15,000 more than the Boxster S, but we think the extra expense is well worth it. You'll enjoy more power and a throatier sound from the six-cylinder engine, in addition to beefier brakes, a stiffer and lower-riding suspension, and a torque-vectoring limited-slip differential. These features enhance both performance and the driving experience, which is what this car is all about.
2025 718 Boxster trim level differences
The 2025 718 Boxster roadster is available in five trim levels: the base Boxster, Boxster Style Edition, Boxster S, Boxster GTS 4.0 and top-of-the-line Boxster Spyder RS. All come standard with a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, which Porsche calls PDK. All models except the Spyder RS are available with a six-speed manual as a no-cost option.
