The eagerly anticipated 2021 Porsche 718 Boxster is here, and, as expected, it looks amazing and is chock-full of interesting features and improvements. Some of these features and upgrades are native to the 2021 Boxster — meaning they have not been offered in any prior Boxster. There are a number of features that make it stand out from other roadsters.
1. Excellent Ride and Handling
Any conversation about the new Porsche Boxster will likely start with its ride quality and superior handling, and rightly so. The roadster’s mid-engine design, low center of gravity, and perfectly-balanced body help it deliver enhanced driving performance. The roadster also has an advanced Porsche Stability Management (PSM) system and a Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) system that helps increase driving stability and performance. The Porsche Active Drivetrain Mounts (PADM) and Porsche Torque Vectoring (PTV) options help improve the car’s handling. Strong and sturdy handling makes it easy to navigate the car, especially during emergency driving situations. Excellent handling also leads to enhanced traction, increased ride comfort, and reduced tire wear and tear.
2. Ultra-Strong Braking System
The new roadster features an ultra-strong braking system that provides first-rate deceleration forces even under high loads. Excellent stopping performance leads to more responsive handling and increased driving stability. The 2021 Porsche Boxster also has a multi-collision brake system, which helps reduce the severity of a car crash by automatically stopping the vehicle once the airbag sensors detect a primary collision.
3. Advanced Safety Features
The new Porsche Boxster also comes equipped with advanced and smart safety features, with which collisions and costly car damages can be avoided. Adaptive headlights, an advanced airbag system, and front and rear parking sensors are standard on all 2021 Porsche Boxster trims. Optional safety features include blind-spot monitoring, adaptive cruise control, and automatic high-beam headlights.
4. Powerful Engines
The 2021 Porsche 718 Boxster has a diverse array of powerful and advanced engines — a 2.0-liter turbocharged flat-four producing 300-hp/280 lb-ft, a 2.5-liter turbocharged flat-four producing 350-hp/309lb-ft and a 4.0-liter turbocharged flat-six producing 394-hp/317 lb-ft. These engines come equipped with techs that help reduce spin losses, ensure precise and smooth shift feel, improve fuel economy, and deliver greater driving performance.
5. More Standard Equipment
The all-new Porsche Boxster is now available with more standard equipment than ever. That in itself is a good reason to buy. The standard equipment includes heated front seats, adaptive bi-xenon headlights, Apple CarPlay integration, and auto-dimming wing mirrors. These new standard features are expected to enhance the car’s functionality and improve your driving experience.
The 2021 718 Boxster has an excellent resume and should be on the shortlist of anyone who’s looking for a premium-looking and feature-packed roadster.
