Can the Rear Seats of the Qashqai Be Fully Flattened for Sleeping?
2 Answers
The rear seats cannot be completely flattened. After folding them down, there is a fifteen-degree incline, but this does not affect normal usage at all. Below is some information about the Qashqai: 1. Introduction: The Qashqai, meaning 'urban nomad,' is the first product designed by Nissan's European Design Center. It is positioned between a compact SUV and a hatchback. Unlike crossovers built directly on sedan platforms, the Qashqai is a product specifically designed by Nissan for this unique market segment. 2. Features: As a true urban SUV designed for driving pleasure, the Qashqai was developed with a focus on integrating multiple functions, combining the characteristics of SUVs and sedans. It optimizes and balances aspects such as exterior design, interior, handling, and comfort, making it a core product and a representative model among best-selling SUVs.
The rear seats of the Qashqai can indeed be folded flat for sleeping, which I often do during long trips. The rear seats are designed with a 60/40 split-folding function, and when laid flat, the space is quite spacious, accommodating two adults comfortably like a simple bed. During my self-drive trip to Tibet last year, I slept in the back after laying the seats flat and adding a mattress. The height is sufficient to stretch your legs, and no special tools are required, but make sure to park on stable ground. The comfort level is average—while the seat material is soft, prolonged sleep might cause backaches, so bringing a pillow and a small blanket is recommended for added comfort. Overall, it's great for short naps or camping, but ensure proper ventilation and avoid running the engine to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning. The higher trim versions come with an automatic lift function for easier operation, but even the base model's manual adjustment takes just a few minutes—a very user-friendly design.
