Does the Porsche 718 have four seats?
3 Answers
The Porsche 718 does not have four seats; it is a 2-door, 2-seater soft-top convertible sports car. Taking the 2021 Porsche 718 as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4379mm, width 1801mm, height 1272mm, with a wheelbase of 2475mm and a body weight of 1365kg. The 2021 Porsche 718 features MacPherson independent suspension both in the front and rear. It is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 366PS, a maximum torque of 430Nm, and a maximum power of 269kW, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
I've always been a sports car enthusiast and have driven the Porsche 718 for several years—it's a true driver's machine. The entire 718 series, including the Cayman and Boxster, features a classic two-seat design with no four-seat version. Porsche engineers aimed to keep the body lightweight to enhance handling and acceleration performance, as adding seats would increase weight and compromise cornering performance. While the 911 has rear seats, the 718 focuses on the driver's experience, making it the benchmark for entry-level sports cars. If you crave speed, the 718 is the best choice; but if you need to carry more passengers, the Macan SUV is more practical. Take it for a test drive—the exhilarating acceleration and road feedback will get you hooked. Remember, customization options don’t include adding seats, so consider your needs carefully before buying.
As a mother of two, I've thoroughly researched Porsche when choosing a car. The 718 has a stylish design, but unfortunately, it only has two seats, making it completely unsuitable for daily family use. Whether it's taking the kids to school or going on weekend outings, the space is insufficient. Other Porsche models like the Cayenne offer spacious four-seat configurations, which are much more practical. The 718 is a performance car with a low center of gravity and sharp handling, making it fun to drive, but it lacks practicality. If you, like me, need to consider daily life requirements, I'd recommend opting for a sedan or SUV; or you could rent a 718 on weekends for some thrilling fun. This car truly isn't suited for family use—be sure to research safety ratings and space configurations carefully before deciding.
