2024 Porsche 718 Boxster

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2024 718 Boxster.

Transmission Automatic (AM-S7)

The 2024 Porsche 718 Boxster is a mid‑engine sports coupe built on the Porsche 718 platform, powered by a naturally aspirated flat‑four that balances agility and refinement; it comes paired with a smooth AM‑S7 automatic transmission and delivers EPA fuel economy of 21 / 27 / 24 mpg city/highway/combined. With only one owner complaint reported this year—centered on the electrical system, service brakes, and engine—and a single recall, the 718 Boxster’s 2024 model year sits at the bottom of the complaint spectrum for the 2017‑2023 period, matching the lowest complaint count of 1 in 2023 and underscoring a strong reliability trend for the line.

Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

The 2024 model year registers a single federal complaint—matching 2023’s volume and aligning with the generation’s broader trajectory toward minimal reported issues following the higher early-production counts seen in 2017. Unlike the launch year’s three complaints and five recalls, or the 2018–2019 period that logged zero complaints, the 2024 data indicates the model line has settled into low-incidence maturity with stable, minimal complaint volume. The lone complaint entry encompasses the Electrical System, Service Brakes, and Engine collectively, though the data does not specify whether these represent a single multi-system issue or discrete concerns, nor does it identify a root cause. Notably, the 2024 model records zero crash and zero fire complaints, continuing the safety-positive trend observed as the generation aged. Given the historically low complaint frequency, absence of crash or fire incidents in the federal record, and the general downward trend in technical service bulletins from 500 in 2017 to 313 in 2023, the 2024 model year represents a sound acquisition target within this generation.
