The Porsche Boxster is a two-seat convertible, and it exists for one reason: driving. There's no hardtop version, no rear bench and no all-wheel drive - just rear-wheel drive and a chassis that road testers have treated as the class benchmark for years.
It sits below the 911 in Porsche's range and is the open-top half of the mid-engined pair. Buyers tend to be people who want a genuine sports car they can still use on a Tuesday morning, rather than a weekend toy that lives under a cover.
The choice is simple. One body style, petrol power from 296 to 394 bhp, manual or automatic, and four versions: the Boxster entry model, Style Edition, S and the 394 bhp GTS.
Porsche Boxster key facts

Manufacturer data for the versions we currently offer. Last updated 5 October 2026.
The Boxster is a compact, mid-engined roadster: two seats, two doors, about 4.38 metres long and between 1,335 kg and 1,435 kg depending on version. It's the current third-generation car, on sale in this form since 2016.
What reviewers return to, again and again, is the chassis. The steering feel, the balance from the engine sitting between the axles and the brake pedal are routinely described as among the best of any sports car at any price, and the GTS versions draw particular praise for their noise and throttle response.
Practicality is better than the shape suggests. Boot space is 120 to 122 litres depending on version, there's a tyre repair kit rather than a spare, and every Boxster comes with Porsche's three-year, unlimited-mileage warranty.
Leasing suits a car like this because you're paying to use it for a fixed term rather than betting on what a niche two-seat convertible is worth in four years' time. You hand it back at the end and walk away.
The standard kit list is more generous than Porsche's reputation implies. Every version gets heated front seats, front sports seats, an electrically adjustable driver's seat, built-in navigation, a digital instrument cluster, Apple CarPlay, DAB radio, a wi-fi hotspot, voice control, front and rear parking sensors, rain-sensing wipers, automatic headlights and an electric parking brake.
Driver-assistance systems are mostly a matter of choice here. Adaptive cruise control, active lane-change assist, automatic high beam and autonomous emergency braking are available as factory options across the range, so if you want them, they need specifying at order - a point worth thinking through alongside our guide to choosing your car, mileage and spec.
There's one: petrol. No hybrid, no electric version, nothing to plug in - you fill it at a pump and that's the end of the decision.
Power runs from 296 bhp to 394 bhp, from engines of 2.0 to 4.0 litres with four or six cylinders, all driving the rear wheels. Expect 0-62 mph in 4.0 to 5.1 seconds and WLTP economy of 25.9 to 31.7 mpg, with CO2 from 201 to 247 g/km depending on version.
Gearboxes are six or seven-speed, depending on version. The manual is the enthusiast's pick and testers still rate the shift quality highly; the automatic changes faster, is easier in traffic and is often the cheaper monthly rental on the same version.

Four versions, and the split is between how the car is dressed and what's under it - the Boxster entry model, Style Edition and S share a similar brief, while the GTS changes the mechanicals.
The 296 bhp starting point, on 18-inch "Boxster" alloys with cloth upholstery, air conditioning and sports seats. Seat centres are in race tex with leather bolsters and headrests, the front seats are heated, and the digital display covers speed, gear, odometer, trip and clock.

The Style Edition is currently available from £801.61 a month.

Then there's the performance Boxster. The GTS makes 394 bhp, wears 20-inch "Sport" alloys and adds adaptive suspension, sports suspension, launch control and power-folding mirrors - the version reviewers consistently single out as the most complete car in the range.
