2022 Porsche 718 Boxster vs. 2022 Jaguar F-Type

We all love the Porsche 718 Boxster. It's not just one of the best driving cars on the road, but it's also got a powerful engine, incredibly responsive handling and an interior that's comfortable for you and your passengers. Plus, there are no annoying rattles and squeaks anywhere in this car. But there's a new player in town: The 2020 Jaguar F-Type R AWD Convertible. This amazing new convertible has all of the same qualities as its German rival, with one major difference: It costs less money! So which is better? We'll answer that question right here by comparing these two incredible cars head-to-head.

Design & Style

• Exterior Design

The 2022 Porsche 718 Boxster is not a revolutionary departure from its predecessor. It does have some subtle changes, but nothing that screams "new design" like those of its competitors in the same price range. Yet it still looks great and stands out as an old-meets-new style of vehicle-in other words, a classic with modern touches that help to make this car one of the most beautiful sports cars on the market today.

The 2022 Jaguar F-Type will also stand out from other cars on your local road due to its sleek lines and low profile-a look that makes this model seem slightly more expensive than it really is! But unlike the 2022 Porsche 718 Boxster, it has been completely redesigned for this year's model year so there are no similarities between previous versions of this brand (and there won't be any older models available).

• Interior Design

The 718 Boxster has a more modern, high-tech interior than the F-Type. The driver's seat is comfortable and supportive, with good bolstering that allows you to feel confident when cornering. The steering wheel offers intuitive controls for climate control, audio, phone and trip info - this is something that makes driving more enjoyable because it keeps you from having to look away from the road. The gauges are easy to read at a glance and easy to operate by touch as well; they're also centered around a large central tachometer in front of the driver's eye line.

The F-Type loses points in its interior design: it feels more dated than competitors like the 718 Boxster or even cars like the Audi TT RS or Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione (which are both older). There's less room inside than in other sports cars with similar performance specs; if you have an especially tall passenger riding shotgun, they won't be very comfortable on longer journeys.

Technology & Safety

Both the 2022 Porsche 718 Boxster and the 2022 Jaguar F-Type have a host of technology and safety features to keep you safe on the road. You can expect automatic emergency braking, blind spot monitoring, lane departure warning, adaptive cruise control and more in both models.

Performance

The 2022 Porsche 718 Boxster is powered by a 2.5L four-cylinder turbo engine that produces 315 hp and 310 lb-ft of torque. The engine is mated to a six-speed manual transmission, which sends power to the rear wheels. The Boxster S uses an upgraded version of this engine: it has 35 more horses and 10 more pound-feet of torque (335 hp/325 lb-ft). Both models come standard with rear-wheel drive; all-wheel drive is optional on both models, though only the F-Type can be ordered in AWD.

The Bottom Line

The 2022 Porsche 718 Boxster is a younger and nimbler car than the 2022 Jaguar F-Type, with better handling and an available manual transmission. The Jag's superior engine and sharper styling make it the more focused of the two cars.
