Best 4-seater convertible cars

Who says drop-top motoring should be reserved exclusively for two-seater sports cars? If you fancy the thrill of open-air driving but also have a family you need to cart from A to B, four-seat convertibles can make for an appealing choice. There’s a pretty wide range of four-seater convertible cars available too, including everything from fast and agile sports cars to luxurious and refined grand tourers. But which should you choose? Here are the best four-seat convertibles, whatever your budget.

Porsche 911
2024
Desirability Award
S/T version

1. Porsche 911 Cabriolet

9/10
Porsche 911 review
The Porsche 911 is arguably the definitive sports car, but it’s also one that comes with a set of (tiny) back seats. The convertible feels just as fast and very, very nearly as agile as the coupe model, too - though you’ll only be able to fit small children (or luggage) in the second row.
Lexus LC Convertible

2. Lexus LC Convertible

9/10
Lexus LC Convertible review
This fantastic looking four-seater convertible has an extremely plush interior, and a V8 engine to die for. It makes for a comfortable long-distance cruiser, but unfortunately its rear seats are only really suitable for a couple of weekend bags.

Bentley Continental GT Convertible

3. Bentley Continental GT Convertible

9/10
Bentley Continental GT Convertible review
For wafting up and down the Côte d’Azur, there really is nothing finer than the Bentley Continental GT Convertible. The big Bentley looks stunning, and it’s staggeringly quick. It’s a very pricey car, though, and although it has space for four the back seats aren’t very comfortable.
Mercedes-Benz SL

4. Mercedes SL

8/10
Mercedes-Benz SL review
This aggressive-looking drop top is available with a selection of V8 engines that pack a serious performance punch, and it’s quick and nimble through the corners too. Again, those tight rear seats are more for show than actual real-life passengers.
BMW 4 Series Convertible

5. BMW 4 Series Convertible

8/10
BMW 4 Series Convertible review
The BMW 4 Series Convertible isn’t the most overtly sporty car on this list, but it’s still great to drive on a twisty back-road. It has seats that can comfortably fit adult passengers, too. So it’s a bit of a pity that it really isn’t a looker.
BMW 8 Series Convertible

6. BMW 8 Series Convertible

8/10
BMW 8 Series Convertible review
The 8 Series Convertible is handsome, luxurious, and impressively comfortable on a long-distance drive. It handles well in the corners, too. Its petrol engines are pretty thirsty, though, and it has a very small boot.
Mercedes-Benz E-Class Cabriolet

7. Mercedes E-Class Cabriolet

8/10
Mercedes-Benz E-Class Cabriolet review
The E-Class Cabriolet majors in exceptional comfort, and will leave you feeling totally relaxed after a casual waft down a country road. If, however, you want an engaging, sporty convertible, you’ll have to look elsewhere.
Mercedes-Benz C-Class Cabriolet (2018-2023)

8. Mercedes C-Class Cabriolet

8/10
Mercedes-Benz C-Class Cabriolet (2018-2023) review
Although it’s not quite as roomy as the E-Class, the C-Class Cabriolet does a similar job. It’s all about comfort and relaxation rather than excitement. The C-Class is elegant and easy to live with, although the boot could be bigger.
Ford Mustang Convertible

9. Ford Mustang Convertible

7/10
Ford Mustang Convertible review
If you want to turn heads in your four-seater convertible, the iconic Ford Mustang makes for a very good choice. Its V8 engine sounds amazing, and it’s decently comfy on the motorway. It’s also pretty fun on a country road, but interior quality is a sore point.
MINI Convertible

10. MINI Convertible

7/10
MINI Convertible review
The MINI is a style icon, and this convertible version absolutely looks the part. It’s fun to drive both in town and on a country road, but those exceptionally cramped rear seats are more for show than anything else. The boot is miniscule too.

Advice about 4-seater convertible cars

4-seater convertibles FAQs

Four-seater convertibles are more common than you might think. Premium car makers such as BMW and Mercedes all continue to sell a range of four-seater convertibles, and although the Audi A5 Cabriolet is no longer on sale as a new model, chances are that you’ll easily be able to find one on the used market.

If you have the budget to stretch into the properly high-end side of the market, you’ll find plenty of options to choose from too. Bentley offers its excellent Continental GT grand tourer as a four-seater convertible, while the Aston Martin DB11 Volante is another super appealing option.

Four-seater convertibles with a folding hardtop roof are actually pretty uncommon these days. In fact, we can’t think of a single option that you can buy as a brand new model! That said, there are a fair amount of options available on the used market.

The previous-generation BMW 4 Series Convertible is an attractive choice, not only because it has a surprisingly spacious interior with enough room for four adults to sit comfortably, but also because it still remains a fun, engaging car to drive even to this day.

Of all the four-seater convertibles included in this list, the most spacious options would be the Mercedes E-Class Cabriolet or the BMW 4 Series Convertible. Both cars will sit four adults in relative comfort, and have a decent amount of on-board storage for any random odds and ends that you might want to bring along with you.

In terms of boot space, the Mercedes E-Class Cabriolet doesn’t fare too badly either. With 385 litres of storage capacity you’ll easily be able to fit a couple of weekend bags on board - although it’s worth pointing out that the E-Class Coupe’s boot has 425 litres of space. The reason for this difference is the fact that the convertible’s electric roof mechanism is housed within the boot itself.

One of the fastest 4-seat convertibles on sale is the Porsche 911 Turbo S, which can hit a top speed of 205mph! It’s not just quick in terms of its top speed either, its straight-line acceleration is also otherworldly. Engage launch control on a dry race track and it’ll sprint to 60mph from a standstill in just 2.8 seconds.
