Can the backrest angle of the rear seats in the XT5 be adjusted?

The rear seat angle of the Cadillac XT5 can be adjusted via buttons. Button location: The seat adjustment buttons for the driver's seat in the Cadillac XT5 are located on the left side of the seat cushion, primarily featuring three adjustment functions: seat position, lumbar support, and backrest. Additionally, the rear seats of the Cadillac XT5 can be manually folded down using the shoulder switch. Full rear seat folding: This refers to the rear seat backrest being a single unit. When larger items require more space, the rear seat backrest can be folded down to gain additional room. However, the downside is that when the rear seats are folded, there is no space for passengers. On the other hand, split-folding rear seats allow the backrest to be folded down in sections, offering greater flexibility compared to full folding. For example, only half of the backrest can be folded to accommodate larger items while the remaining section can still seat passengers. Cadillac XT5: The Cadillac XT5 is a four-door, five-seat SUV with body dimensions of 4812mm in length, 1903mm in width, and 1680mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2857mm. The trunk capacity is 584 liters, and the second-row seats support a one-touch folding function, allowing the trunk space to expand up to a maximum of 1634 liters.
I've been driving the Cadillac XT5 for nearly three years, and I can confidently say that the rear seat backrest angle is adjustable, which is a major plus for me. During long trips, I always let rear passengers recline slightly to reduce fatigue. The adjustment isn't electric – just pull the small lever on the side of the seat, making it quick and simple. However, be aware that this feature might not be available in base models; it's more common in top-tier or upgraded versions, so it's best to test it when purchasing. After adjustment, the seats tilt back slightly for greater comfort with minimal impact on legroom. Having compared it with other SUVs in its class, some brands don't offer this adjustment, making the XT5 more user-friendly in this aspect. Be careful not to let debris jam the adjuster during installation to avoid damage. Though a small feature, it's highly practical for family users or those frequently carrying full loads.
