What it is
This 2026 Porsche 911 Carrera 4S Cabriolet is a gasoline-powered car in the EPA minicompact class. It uses all-wheel drive, a 3.0-liter turbocharged six-cylinder engine, and an automatic transmission.
The numbers
The figure to watch is 20 MPG combined. The EPA rates it at 17 MPG in city driving and 24 MPG on the highway. Those numbers describe fuel use in different driving mixes, so your result depends on how much city or highway driving you do.
What it costs to run
The EPA annual fuel-cost estimate is $4,100. That estimate uses the car's 20 MPG combined rating and gasoline use; your yearly bill will change with miles driven and fuel prices.
How it compares
In a comparison, line up this car's 20 combined MPG with the other cars you are considering. Its 17 city and 24 highway figures show the split between urban and open-road driving. You can place it alongside other Porsche cars or browse fuel-efficient cars using the same EPA measure.
Who it suits
This car fits a buyer who wants a Porsche 911 cabriolet with all-wheel drive and accepts gasoline running costs tied to a 20 MPG combined rating. The minicompact classification points to a small-car footprint.
Trade-offs
All-wheel drive and the 3.0-liter turbocharged engine are paired with a 20 MPG combined rating rather than a high-mileage figure. City driving is rated at 17 MPG, below its 24 MPG highway result. Its gasoline powertrain also means ongoing fuel spending, estimated by the EPA at $4,100 a year.
