Can you sleep with the rear seats folded down in the Cadillac XT5?

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.

I often use the XT5 for outings with my kids. The rear seats can be folded down to create a temporary bed, and the space is very practical. The height is sufficient to sit up without hitting your head, and two kids can lie down together without any issues—just add a sleeping bag for rest. When they get tired after playing at the park, they can take a short nap, which is very convenient. The trunk is spacious enough to hold luggage and other items. However, the surface isn’t very soft, so prolonged sleep might be uncomfortable—it’s best to bring an inflatable mattress. This setup is quite handy for occasional family trips, but it’s only suitable for short periods and shouldn’t replace a proper bed. Safety is key—avoid running the AC for too long while sleeping and be mindful of temperature changes.

As a camping enthusiast, I've tried sleeping overnight with the rear seats of the XT5 folded flat. The space is wide enough for someone 1.75m tall to lie down comfortably. Compared to a tent, the car provides better shelter from wind and rain, and with a foldable mattress, sleep is quite sound. It's very practical for emergency overnight stays during wilderness road trips. However, the floor is slightly hard, making it noisy when turning over. Adding a small fan for ventilation makes sleeping more comfortable. The size is moderate but not suitable for very tall individuals. I only use it for temporary situations and recommend not exceeding one night.
