Can You Sleep in the Rear of the Tayron?

The rear seats and trunk of the Tayron can be folded flat for sleeping, but there may be some unevenness when the trunk is folded down, which might not be very comfortable for sleeping. Below is a detailed introduction to the Volkswagen Tayron: 1. The trunk is relatively flat overall, with a depth of 900mm, a width of 1000mm, and a height of 740mm. The height difference between the trunk floor and the outer edge is minimal, making it convenient for daily luggage handling. When the tailgate is opened, the ground clearance is 1840mm, and the lower edge of the opening has a ground clearance of 760mm. 2. When the rear seats are slid all the way forward, the minimum trunk depth expands from the original 900mm to 1100mm, providing additional trunk space without folding the front seats. After removing the trunk cover, you can fit three suitcases of 28 inches, 24 inches, and 20 inches.
As an experienced camper who often sleeps in the car, the Tayron's rear seats can indeed be used as a bed after one-touch folding. The space measures approximately 1.8 meters in length and 1.1 meters in width. At 178 cm tall, I can lie down without my feet touching the end, making it suitable for most people to rest temporarily. However, the floor is a bit hard, so I recommend laying down a thin sleeping pad or an inflatable mattress for added comfort, along with a sleeping bag for better insulation. Ventilation is crucial—leave a small gap in the windows to ensure airflow and avoid sleeping with the engine running to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning. This setup is practical for short trips or emergency overnight stays, but the noise and temperature fluctuations can be significant, and you might wake up with back pain, so it's not ideal for long-term use as a bed. Overall, it offers good value for money and is more convenient than a tent.
