When we are talking about style, quality, comfort and performance in a convertible, the brand name would automatically be suggestive of Porsche. As the name suggests, the automaker Porsche is a known name that stands synonymous to amazing performance, exquisite exterior design, a highly customizable interior cabin and all this assured for a lifetime through which the car would accompany you. 

Among the selected models that come out of the Porsche manufacturing shade, the 2019 Porsche 718 Boxster is only one of them, about which the automaker doesn’t boast of anything special, but when compared to other cars in the same segment of compact convertibles, the 2019 Porsche 718 Boxster will not let any other model to win the trophy of champion. That isn’t just an opinion from the Porsche supporters, but a line of fact admitted by a reputed sports car dealer.

What is New for 2019 

Though the 2019 718 Boxster is only an “entry-level” sports car from the renowned automaker Porsche, it will not allow you to look any further, without paying the due respect it deserves. It is still the small two-seater compact car that also come as a coupe apart from its popular convertible style.

For this year 2019, the 718 Boxster from Porsche stands with a lineup that includes a 718 GTS trim that was already added to its last year lineup and the other trims named as the Base 718, S, and GTS. The trim configurations offer a myriad of feature options that are available on all of them.

Exquisite Exterior Styling

The 2019 Porsche 718 Boxster carries a thrilling profile that comes from an exquisite exterior styling. It makes a beautiful two-seater sports car that has the perfected design of the older generation models. The magic in this model is the perfect fusion of softer lines with a sharp design. It carries the same individuality that are typical of all Porsche models though it shares some common traits with its sibling model the 911. With all the design pattern it is built up with, the 2019 Porsche 718 Boxster continues to be a  stand-alone model.

The Power Line

The 2019 Porsche 718 Boxster though sharing some design patterns with its sibling model 911, differs completely at the powertrain level. It uses turbo-4 power for all its trim levels, which isn’t the case for the 911 model series. 

The base engine carries a 300-horsepower generating turbocharged flat-4 engine that is paired to a 6-speed manual or 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. The 718 Boxster S trim and the 718 Cayman S get their power out of a bigger flat-4 engine while the GTS trim tops out with its respectable 365 hp that can sprint up the speed to 60 mph in less than four seconds.

The Bottom Line

Ask any sports car dealership expert and they will always show you how the 2019 Porsche 718 Boxster leaves all other sports car model behind, unless it is challenged by the other models making more business for the same automaker, named Porsche.

As the Editor-in-Chief of 8Blogs.com, she leads the editorial vision of one of the web's most ambitious business and industry publications — a platform dedicated to delivering sharp, credible, and actionable content for professionals, entrepreneurs, and industry leaders across the globe. Abby's journey into the world of professional writing and editing began long before her byline appeared on any publication. Growing up with a natural curiosity for how businesses work, how economies shift, and how leadership shapes organizations, she found herself drawn to the intersection of journalism and business from an early age. That passion led her to Ohio University — one of the United States' most respected public research universities, located in Athens, Ohio — where she pursued a Bachelor's degree in Journalism and Communications. Ohio University's School of Media Arts and Studies gave Abby a rigorous academic foundation in editorial ethics, news writing, investigative reporting, audience analysis, and multimedia storytelling. It was here that she developed the disciplined writing habits and critical thinking skills that would define her professional career. She graduated with a deep understanding of what separates good content from truly great content — and a firm commitment to always delivering the latter. Before stepping into a full editorial role, Abby gained invaluable real-world experience through internships at newspapers, regional magazines, and online publishing companies. These early career placements were formative. Working in fast-paced newsrooms taught her how to research under pressure, verify facts rigorously, and write with clarity and precision on tight deadlines. Her internship experiences also gave her a front-row seat to the rapid transformation of media — from print-first thinking to digital-first strategy — a shift she embraced fully and has championed ever since. Over the following six to seven years, Abby built a diverse and impressive portfolio spanning writing, reporting, editorial assistance, and content strategy. She has covered topics ranging from startup ecosystems and venture capital trends to leadership philosophy, workplace culture, global trade, and emerging technologies.
