Can you sleep with the rear seats folded down in the Cadillac XT5?
2 Answers
Cadillac XTS rear seats can be folded down in proportion, allowing for sleeping. There are two buttons located above the trunk area in the Cadillac XTS; pressing these buttons will fold down the seats. The rear seats can be folded in two ways: proportional folding and full folding. Proportional folding of rear seats: This means the backrest of the rear seats can be folded down in proportion. Compared to full folding, proportional folding offers greater flexibility, allowing only half of the backrest to be folded down to accommodate large items while the remaining part can still be used for seating. Different models: Different car models have varying folding proportions. Generally, business vehicles have larger folding proportions, with many allowing 100% seat folding. This feature increases the trunk's storage capacity.
I'm a Cadillac XT5 owner and often go on road trips. The rear seats fold down to create a quite flat space, about 1.8 meters in length, which is fully sufficient for an adult to lie down. The trunk has good depth, allowing you to stretch your legs without feeling cramped—just lay down a thin mattress and it can serve as a bed. For short trips like camping breaks, it’s quite convenient. I’ve tried it a few times and slept decently. However, the surface is a bit hard, and prolonged use might cause back pain, so I recommend adding a pillow for better comfort. Ventilation inside the car is crucial; crack the windows slightly to maintain airflow. The space isn’t top-tier but is roomier than a sedan, making it suitable for emergency naps. Always check that the seats are securely locked, and never sleep while the vehicle is moving—safety first.
