Best 4-seater convertibles in the UK
High quality four-seater convertibles from rated and reviewed dealers
Best 4-seater convertible cars
The best four-seater convertible cars have the oh-so desirable mix which few other types of four-wheeled transport do. Not only are they stylish and head-turning, but they’re more fun to experience than their fixed-roof counterparts while offering (just) enough practicality to be used every day.
Not all are created equal, however. The Mini Cooper Convertible and Mercedes SL may have back seats, but they’re best used as extra storage space. The Bentley Continental GTC and BMW 4 Series Convertible, meanwhile, are actually usable for driving three passengers around.
Our expert reviews team have comprehensively tested every convertible car on sale, taking them around town, on road trips, come rain or shine to see which ones are best. Here are our ten favourites:

1. Porsche 911 Cabriolet
Porsche 911 review
Best for: top-down driving thrills
The Porsche 911 is almost certainly the most iconic sports car of all time, not just because it still resembles its 1960s predecessor, but because it’s a genuinely usable, practical choice of wheels. The Cabriolet is no different, and though its back seats are even tighter than in the coupe, it’s almost as easy to live with.
It looks great, too - if you’re already a fan of the coupe’s soft curves and round headlights. A 911’s most iconic feature is its silhouette, sloping down towards the rear bumper. Most cars lose their typical side profiles when subject to a can opener and a canvas top, but the 911 Cabriolet is just as elegant in soft-top form.
The interior is nearly identical to the coupe, too. The ruler-straight dash top with a crisp driver’s display and conjoined infotainment screen look classy, and the Porsche purists among you can even set the dial layout to resemble a classic 911. Material quality is top-notch - befitting the price - but you’re better off going for a bright interior colour, as the small windows of the soft-top can make the cabin feel dark with the roof up.
Even tall drivers will find it easy to get comfortable in the front of a 911 Cabriolet, but the back seats are tighter than they are in a coupe on account of the roof compartment, which forces the backrests to a totally upright position. Best flip them down and use the space as a storage shelf, then.
But, the biggest draw to a 911 is the way it drives. Whether you opt for an entry-level, 3.0-litre Carrera, a continent-crushing, 711hp Turbo S or a topless track-special in the GT3 S/C, few other cars on sale are as fun to drive or capable on a good road.
The S/C is a little hardcore in town, but the rest of the range is about as comfortable as you’ll get - in sports car terms - and the roof is insulated enough that motorway journeys aren’t unbearably noisy. Still, you might just forget the compromise once you end up on a twisty road, because the 911 is even more exhilarating with the top down - when you can hear the flat-six engine howl.

Battery range up to 249 miles
Best for: retro practicality
The Renault 4 E-Tech didn’t launch to quite as much fanfare as the super-stylish Renault 5 did when it was announced, with its chunkier styling and a name with a touch less rose-tint to it. Yet now, the arrival of the Renault 4 Plein Sud takes the less-loved mini-SUV and peels its roof all the way back, to make this one of the coolest open-top cars around.
Okay granted, this isn’t quite a full convertible, with the canvas top being more of a sunroof than anything, but considering it does retract almost completely to the tailgate, we reckon it deserves a place on this list. It’s also a very handsome little car, even in hard-top form, thanks to its retro touches harking back to the original Renault 4 of the 1950s.
The interior is brilliant, too, borrowing the same stepped-back, two-level dashboard as the Renault 5. The body-hugging, squared-off seats are the same, too, and you can choose from a range of funky fabric or leatherette upholstery choices - depending on which trim level you’ve gone for.
The biggest advantage the Renault 4 has over the Renault 5 is the additional interior space, afforded by the taller roofline and longer wheelbase. There’s a fair amount of storage cubbies up front, and while back seat space can’t exactly be described as generous, there's definitely more rear legroom than in its smaller counterpart. The 420-litre boot is handy, too.
You can only have one single battery in the Renault 4: a 52kWh unit that offers up to 250 miles of range. That’s not bad compared to other affordable, small, electric SUVs - but if you spend a touch more on the alternatives then you can go around 100 miles further on a charge.
Still, few other small EVs are quite as fun to drive as the Renault 4 E-Tech. Not only is it comfortable around town, but it takes motorway journeys in its stride and it’s surprisingly great fun to drive on a country lane, too.

3. Bentley Continental GTC
Bentley Continental GT Convertible review
Best for: top-down wafting
If you want to make a statement wherever you arrive, you could do a lot worse than by turning up in a Bentley Continental GTC - which is Bentley speak for GT Convertible. It’s a luxurious, rapid and supremely posh way to get around.
It’s also one of the few cars on sale that really, truly looks as expensive as it is to buy. In fact, with its crystal-encrusted headlights, intricate grille, razor-sharp creases and sheer heft, the Conti’ GTC could well have more road presence than any other car this side of a Rolls Royce.
The interior is even more opulent than the exterior details, taking the classic Bentley dashboard layout and topping it with high-tech displays to go with your choice of wood, carbon fibre, turned aluminium…or whatever soon-to-be-extinct inlay takes your fancy. Lashings of leather and chrome top it all off, making this a seriously special cabin.
It’s spacious, too, with loads of room up front - but that’s to be expected from a car of this size. Back seat space is certainly enough for four adults, but it’s a lot more cramped than in the coupe on account of the roof storage cubby ahead of the boot, so they’re better used for short journeys or kids. The boot size is a joke, quite frankly, at 134 litres - because of the hybrid batteries beneath the floor.
All Continentals are V8-powered, but power outputs vary greatly from the entry-level GTC to the rapid GTC Speed, with the GTC S splitting the difference. Nonetheless, they’re all rapid - and offer up to 50 miles of electric-only range as they’re all plug-in hybrids.
It may be designed as a cross-country cruiser first and a sports car second, but the Continental GTC is just as at home in town as it is on the Autobahn. Granted it’s huge, but it’s massively comfortable and quiet, taking any journey in its stride - and being properly good fun when the going gets twisty.

4. BMW 4 Series Convertible
BMW 4 Series Convertible review
Best for: a drop-top all-rounder
The BMW 4 Series Convertible comes from a long line of very capable, good-to-drive and practical BMW drop-tops, starting with the 3 Series of the 1980s. The styling is a bit Marmite, but it’s comfortable, powerful and entertaining behind the wheel.
It isn’t a very handsome car - at least not in a traditional sense - but the rear and side views are sleek. At least the interior is far more pleasant to behold, with a beautifully crisp, two-in-one infotainment and driver display mounted on top of a minimalist, soft-touch dashboard and a wide, sporty centre console. Granted, the touchscreen climate controls are a pain to operate on the go, but otherwise the interior is a success.
It’s spacious enough up front, but the back is a bit of a pain to clamber into with the roof up. At least adults have enough space to sit comfortably for most drives, but as with a lot of convertibles, boot space takes a big hit on account of the roof cubby.
Engines range from from a sensible 2.0-litre petrol to a sporty 3.0-litre lump in the range-topping 440i. All models are comfortable and easy to drive, but if you really want to terrify your passengers, go for the fire-breathing M4 Convertible. With the roof down, wind rushing and rorty exhaust, you won’t be able to hear your friends’ screams.

5. Mercedes CLE Cabriolet
Mercedes-Benz CLE Cabriolet review
Best for: poshness without the premium
The Mercedes CLE Convertible is a comfortable, stylish and luxurious two-door based on the four-door C-Class - albeit stretched to bring it more in line with the larger E-Class.
It isn’t quite as pretty as the old E-Class convertible, but the CLE is a looker nonetheless. The aggressive front grilles, elegant side profile and slender rear light bar are all very elegant, and it’s certainly easier on the eye than its BMW counterpart. The AMG CLE 53 is extra fetching with its pumped-up wheel arches.
Step inside and you’ll soon realise it’s all very C-Class, with an almost indistinguishable cabin - minus the swoopier seats. There’s plenty of leather and the sloping dashboard design is pleasant to look at, but it all feels a little cheap and hollow to the touch, plus the infotainment is a bit annoying to navigate.
The driving position is brilliant, but back seat space is nothing to shout about, roughly on par with the 4 Series Convertible - which is disappointing considering the CLE is a much longer vehicle. The boot actually varies in size depending on whether the roof is up or down, but nonetheless there’s plenty of room back there - for this type of car.
You can choose from a range of petrol engines - and even a single, small diesel lump - all of which are smooth and easy to live with. It’s a very comfortable and quiet cruiser, both in town and on the motorway, but the 4 Series is better to drive on a country lane.

6. Mercedes SL
Mercedes-Benz SL review
Best-for: stunning looks
The Mercedes SL is the definitive top-down cruiser, with a model heritage going back to the 1950s - a spin off from Mercedes’ gullwing-door race car of the period. The current model is not only the sportiest it’s ever been, it’s also one of the best cruisers you can buy right now.
There’s also the added benefit of the SL being utterly gorgeous, with classic sports car proportions: an aggressive nose with pretty headlights, a long, low bonnet and a perky little tail at the back. It’s a proper show-stopper, and it makes a Porsche 911 look a bit boring, to be honest.
Step inside and, though it now looks dated compared to the ultra-widescreen fare in Mercedes’ latest models, the SL’s cabin is far more attractive. The tall, portrait-oriented touchscreen is a bit too large for the small interior, but pretty details and lots of leather mean the SL feels suitably posh.
While it’s easy to get comfortable up front, the back seats are a joke - and they’re not really usable if you have legs. Think of them as extra bag storage, then, as the boot is small too.
Engines range from the entry-level 2.0-litre SL 43 to the range-topping AMG SL 63 S E Performance - which is as powerful as it is a mouthful to say, with 816hp. All models are comfortable and perfectly at home on the motorway, but on a good road with the roof down the V8 soundtrack is the one that feels the most special.

7. Mini Cooper Convertible
MINI Cooper Convertible review
Best for: cutesy looks
As far as convertibles go, the Mini Cooper is one of the most desirable out there. It still resembles the very first Minis that rolled off of the production line back in 1959, but without trying too hard to look retro.
The latest Mini is also the most convincing nod to the original car there’s ever been, with a smooth front end featuring big, round headlights. The non-sport models are sleek and chic, but if you want a lairy little Mini then the John Cooper Works trims feature an aggressive body kit - and they all look achingly cool with the roof down, too.
The infotainment and most of the controls are accessible through a glorious circular screen in the middle of the dashboard. You get a small head-up display for driver info, and the rest of the interior is great to look at thanks to Mini’s clever use of fabric trims.
Practicality is far from the Mini’s strong suit, and the Cooper Convertible best suited to two adults in the front. The rear seats are very tight, and the 160-litre boot is just about big enough for a small shop or some carry-on luggage.
Whether petrol or electric powered, the Mini is a blast to drive around town. It’s nippy and responsive, with good forward visibility and a tight turning circle. The suspension is stiff and the Mini does get shaken up by potholes, but supportive seats help on the motorway and a lack of body lean means the Mini is rather fun on a twisty road.

8. Ford Mustang Convertible
Ford Mustang Convertible review
Best for: old-school charm
The Ford Mustang is one of the coolest cars ever made, an American icon that has seen success since the 1960s. The thunderous, V8-powered sports car may be dying out these days, but the Mustang is hanging in there, and it’s great that it’s still around.
It also looks sharper than ever, with a clear nod to the original model which took the USA by storm - now with chiseled lines, sharp creases and the iconic three-bar taillights beneath the little duck-tail spoiler. The convertible isn’t quite as stylish as the ‘fastback’ coupe, but it’s still very handsome.
Sadly, the interior can’t match the exterior looks. The digital display and infotainment may be easy on the eye, but they’re annoying to navigate and the rest of the interior both looks and feels dated compared to the German alternatives.
The back seats are hard to get into, and the bulky front seats eat away at rear legroom and visibility. The 310-litre boot, however, is generously-sized for a car with such a big soft-top to stow away.
Now the fun part: the Mustang can only be had with a 5.0-litre V8 engine driving the rear wheels through an automatic or manual gearbox. Yee-haw.
This means it not only sounds great with the top down, but the Mustang is a properly charming thing to be behind the wheel of. It’s not as comfortable, sharp or refined as the Germans, but it doesn’t need to be because it’s more fun.

9. Fiat 500 Convertible
Fiat 500 Convertible review
Best for: a fashion accessory on wheels
The Fiat 500 has always been an adorable way to get around, but it’s never been a very practical choice at the same time. So, how do you make the new, electric version even more stylish yet less practical in one fell swoop? Easy, you turn it into the 500 Convertible.
It’s worth noting that unlike the Mini Cooper Convertible, the 500’s soft-top slides back - leaving the roof pillars in place - rather than folding the entire top away. It’s more of a massive sunroof as a result, but it gets a pass because the Fiat looks oh-so-chic, and seriously retro.
The cabin is just as much of a throwback to the 1950s model as the exterior is, with a body-coloured dashboard trim, circular instrument display and an upright seating position for brilliant forward visibility. The manual petrol has an old-school, cue-ball style gear knob while the electric 500E convertible gets push buttons instead.
It’s surprisingly roomy up front, but the back seats are just as tight as they are in the hatchback version - while the tiny, bottom-hinged boot is useless for anything more than a big shop or a small suitcase.
The 500 Electric is especially easy to drive around town, but motorways are far from peaceful thanks to the wind and road noise. If you want some hot-hatch thrills, the Abarth 500E Convertible is the model to go for.

Factors to consider when choosing a four-seater convertible car:
How often do you use the back seats?
If you very rarely carry more than one person around, you can easily consider cars such as the Mini Cooper Convertible or Porsche 911 Cabriolet for daily-driving purposes. If, however, you need to make regular use of the back seats, the Mercedes CLE and BMW 4 Series are better suited to your needs.
Petrol or electric?
If you have access to easy home charging and rarely go on long trips then the Renault 4 Plein Sud or the Fiat 500E will be cheap to run. For pure-petrol driving thrills, the V8 Ford Mustang or Porsche 911 Cabriolet in non-hybrid guise are more old-school options.
What's your budget?
If money is no object, then the Bentley Continental GTC or Mercedes SL are no-brainers, dripping in prestige and offering some of the most luxurious automotive experiences around. The Fiat 500 Convertible and Mini Cooper Convertible, however, are arguably more stylish and easier to drive - all for a fraction of the price.
