Porsche is reversing its plan to make the next-generation 718 Boxster and Cayman electric-only, instead reintroducing petrol engines by adapting the EV platform to accommodate internal combustion engines, as part of a strategic shift to boost production efficiency and meet market demands.
Porsche is reversing its plan to make the 718 Boxster and Cayman fully electric, confirming that the next generation will still feature internal combustion engines, likely in the top versions, while maintaining a focus on traditional gas-powered driving alongside upcoming electric models.
Spy shots of the electric 2025 Porsche Boxster reveal a front trunk and rear trunk, making it as practical as its combustion engine counterpart. The front trunk space may vary depending on the powertrain specified, with the AWD model potentially having less space due to the motor and driveshafts. Porsche has confirmed that the EV Boxster and Cayman will be launched in 2025 alongside the existing gasoline-powered models. The company will rely on a dual-powertrain strategy for the Macan EV and Cayenne EV as well.
