Downsizing to four-cylinder engines has big benefits for economy and emissions, with the standard Boxster returning combined cycle mpg figures of 40.9mpg and the S managing 38.7mpg, both with Porsche's PDK automatic gearbox. That's an improvement of 5mpg and 4.3mpg respectively over the pre-facelift car - but both engines are also 35bhp more powerful than their previous six-cylinder counterparts.
Torque figures are up too as a result of the new turbocharged engines, with 380Nm in the Boxster and 420Nm in the Boxster S. That means the new 718 models are faster too: the standard car is 0.8 seconds quicker from 0-62mph, at 4.7 seconds, and the S is 0.6 seconds faster at 4.2 seconds.
