You need to add a new init.

Declare which init you will override, which is the Vehicles init: init(withDoors doors: Int, andWheels wheels: Int).

Then add the new value to the subclasses init: self.numberOfSeats = 4

Finally declare the new (super)init: (withDoors: doors, andWheels: wheels)

class Vehicle {
    var numberOfDoors: Int
    var numberOfWheels: Int

    init(withDoors doors: Int, andWheels wheels: Int) {
        self.numberOfDoors = doors
        self.numberOfWheels = wheels
    }
}
class Car: Vehicle {

    var numberOfSeats: Int = 4

    override init(withDoors doors: Int, andWheels wheels: Int) {
       self.numberOfSeats = 4
        super.init(withDoors: doors, andWheels: wheels)
    }
}
let someCar = Car(withDoors: 4, andWheels: 4)
