Peek Inside – 2013 Porsche Boxster Interior

As you would expect from a sports car, the driver sits low down. The result is a feeling of space and light without compromising the authentic roadster experience. The three-spoke sports steering wheel falls perfectly to hand. This is the interior of the 2013 Porsche Boxster.

The reach from the steering wheel to the gear lever is short for sporty and fast gear changes. In combination with the optional fully electric seats, the steering wheel is also electrically adjustable and for even more convenience, a memory function is included.

The three-spoke sports steering wheel is fitted as standard and offers up to 60 mm height and 40 mm reach adjustment. In conjunction with optional PDK, the steering wheel features two ergonomic switches to shift gears manually. The optional multifunction steering wheel provides extra operating comfort with four function buttons and two thumb wheels for convenient operation of many audio, telephone and navigation functions.

For extra comfort on those cold days, a heating function is available as an option for the sports steering wheel and the multifunction steering wheel. The heating is activated by a separate control button on the steering wheel and the rim is warmed to a pleasant temperature.

Perfect Driving Experience

The three circular instruments give you all the information you need. The rev counter with digital speedometer is positioned in the centre. In the Boxster S the dial face is aluminium-coloured, while in the Boxster, it is finished in minimalist black. The instrument on the left contains the analogue speedometer with digital trip meter and total distance display.

The right-hand circular instrument features a high-resolution 4.6-inch TFT colour screen. It reminds you of your selected communication and audio settings, enables you to customise vehicle settings, delivers various warnings, including alerts from the optional Tyre Pressure Monitoring (TPM) system and in conjunction with the optional PCM, displays the navigation system map.

SPORT Button as Standard

The SPORT button on the centre console is fitted as standard. When selected, Sport mode is activated to provide greater response and enhanced driving pleasure. Throttle response becomes even more direct, the rev-limiter is adjusted to a harder setting and engine dynamics are tuned for performance driving. The auto start/stop function is also deactivated.

Silver-coloured details add to the refined tone. These include the dashboard trim strip, the side and centre air vent surrounds and the centre console. The steering wheel rim, gear lever/selector and door pull inlays are finished in tactile leather. Sports seats are fitted as standard. And as an option, Porsche offered a comprehensive suite of interior trims and upholsteries for the Boxster.

Are you ready to drive? The ignition lock is there on the left, as it should be.
