By standard definition, all cars in the 2+2 category have two front seats and two rear seats. Other common characteristics for 2+2 cars include relatively little room for the rear passengers and a "streamlined" body with two doors. While 2+2 seating is most commonly associated with coupés, especially those which strongly favour front passenger seating such as sports cars and grand tourers, certain convertibles with "auxiliary"-type rear seats may also be regarded as 2+2s. Some vehicles (such as the TVR Cerbera and Toyota iQ) have been marketed as "3+1" due to their front passenger seat having more space for forward adjustment than the driver's, allowing for more leg room for one rear-seat passenger.Abuelsamid Sam 2008-03-04 Geneva '08: The 3+1 seat Toyota iQ https://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/04/geneva-08-the-3-1-seat-toyota-iq/ 2026-10-16 Autoblog enOctober 2026 The source covers the Toyota iQ only; a source is needed for the TVR Cerbera.

Other similar examples of stretched two-seaters include the Lotus Elan +2, the Datsun 260Z 2+2 and the Ferrari 365 GT 2+2.
