As standard, both Boxster models come with a quiet, efficient air-conditioning system. Optional climate control, with solar and temperature sensors, ensures even more consistent control over the interior temperature.

This optional automatic speed controller for the 30 to 240 km/h (19–149 mph) is operated using a switch on a separate control stalk on the steering column.

The Boxster’s cleverly designed storage compartments offer plenty of space, such as those in the front centre console or the lockable glove compartment (includes CD storage on vehicles with optional sound system). The storage box on the rear bulkhead offers additional loadspace (except on vehicles with optional BOSE® Surround Sound System) along with space in the rear centre console. Other practical features include storage compartments in the doors, coat hooks on the back of each seat and two retractable cup holders above the glove compartment.

When the vehicle is opened or locked using the key remote, the standard automatic locator lighting switches on automatically. This is particularly convenient at night. In conjunction with the optional PCM and Sport Chrono Package Plus, the delayed lighting switch-off period can be adjusted as desired.

The optional programmable garage door opener is integrated into the overhead console and remotely controls up to three different garage doors, gates, home lighting and/or alarm systems.

The windscreen wipers with an adjustable intermittent wipe speed are aerodynamic and inconspicuous. The windscreen washer system has two heated and filtered nozzles. An integrated rain sensor is available as an option (in conjunction with auto-dimming mirrors).

The surfaces of the side windows are treated with a water-repellent coating so that not only water but also dirt runs away more easily, thereby providing optimum visibility even in poor weather.

As soon as reverse gear is engaged, the optional ParkAssist is automatically enabled. If you move too close to an obstacle, a warning signal begins to sound, becoming faster until the car stops. The sensors of the optional ParkAssist are neatly concealed in the rear bumper.
