NHTSA safety across every Porsche 982 718 Boxster Gts 4.0 model year we cover.
Across the 1 model year of the Porsche 982 718 Boxster Gts 4.0 we cover (2025 to 2025), no year has an NHTSA crash-test score on record. No recalls are on record across those years.
The Porsche 718 Boxster GTS 4.0 is a mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive roadster that sits at the top of the 718 Boxster lineup for 2025. Built for driving enthusiasts who want a genuine sports car experience without stepping into full 911 territory, it pairs a high-revving naturally aspirated flat-four with an open-top body style that remains one of the most driver-focused packages in the segment.
From a federal safety data standpoint, the 2025 Porsche 718 Boxster GTS 4.0 is a clean slate - and not in a concerning way. NHTSA has not crash-tested this vehicle in the model years we cover, which is not unusual for a low-volume, performance-oriented roadster that sits well outside the mainstream segments regulators typically prioritize for testing. What matters equally here is what the data does not show: zero recalls and zero owner complaints filed with NHTSA for the 2025 model year. No reported crashes, no fires, no injuries, no deaths. That is as quiet a safety record as any vehicle can carry at this stage. The absence of a Safety Index score means shoppers cannot benchmark this car against starred competitors the way they might with a family SUV. That is a real limitation, and we will not paper over it. Porsche does equip the GTS 4.0 with a suite of modern active safety systems as standard, but our editorial is grounded in federal data, and those features do not earn stars on their own. The honest bottom line: the 2025 Boxster GTS 4.0 enters our coverage window with zero regulatory red flags. Buyers who prioritize a federally validated crash-test score will need to look elsewhere - this car simply has not been put through that process. What it does offer is a spotless complaints record and no recall activity, which for a 2025 model is a genuinely encouraging start.
WHAT REVIEWERS SAYReviewers generally regard the 718 Boxster GTS 4.0 as one of the most rewarding open-top sports cars available at any price, praising its sharp steering, well-sorted chassis balance, and the characterful, high-revving engine note. Cabin refinement and materials are considered a step above most roadster rivals, and the overall driving experience is frequently described as cohesive and confidence-inspiring.
- NHTSA has not crash-tested the 2025 Porsche 718 Boxster GTS 4.0, so there is no federal star rating or Safety Index score available for this model year. Shoppers who rely on those benchmarks will find no comparable data here.
- The 2025 model year carries zero NHTSA recalls, meaning no federal safety defect investigations have resulted in a recall action for this vehicle as of our coverage period.
- Owner complaints filed with NHTSA stand at zero for 2025, with no reported crashes, fires, injuries, or deaths in the federal database. This is an unusually quiet complaint record, though it may also reflect the model's low sales volume.
- As a mid-engine roadster with no roof structure, the 718 Boxster's passive safety profile differs fundamentally from that of a coupe or SUV. Porsche fits a rollover protection system behind the seats, but federal rollover and roof-crush ratings that apply to closed vehicles do not translate directly to this body style.
