Driver shares experience choosing a car for sleeping inside using Peugeot Rifter

A Peugeot Rifter owner outlined three key factors for selecting a vehicle for sleeping inside: interior space, cargo loading convenience, and a flat sleeping area. The Rifter's roof height (1855 mm) and width (1850 mm) significantly exceed those of a Toyota Wish (1590–1600 mm and 1695–1720 mm respectively), reducing the feeling of confinement. A wide tailgate makes loading bulky items easier. The official agre bed kit, installed after folding the second-row seats, provides a flat surface, though an additional mattress and careful luggage arrangement are needed for comfortable sleep.
