The overview

An all-new Boxster arrived for 2013, with all of the attributes we loved about previous models, as well as a longer wheelbase, more power and a wider track. A seven-speed automated manual transmission is offered alongside the traditional six-speed manual. Handling is excellent, even with the electric steering and the ride is not punishing. Interior quality and refinement were improved. Standard safety equipment includes stability control, traction control, brake assist, and antilock brakes.

Behind the data

Latest source update: September 11, 2026

Vehicle summaries, specifications, pricing and ratings come from Consumer Reports vehicle records. Auto Guide groups these records by model and reported generation start year.

Available years are listed explicitly. Gaps do not imply that a model was discontinued. Prices are source estimates, not live offers. No first-hand road test by Auto Guide is claimed.
