Abstract

A front seat for a motor vehicle is disclosed, characterized in that its sitting portion has a front part (16) and a rear part (15) mounted for sliding horizontally one on the other in the longitudinal direction of the seat and an adjustment mechanism actuatable by a single control member (29) and adapted for modifying both the longitudinal position of the front part, the longitudinal position of the rear part and the level of this rear part, so that any backward movement of the front part corresponds to lengthening of the sitting portion (17) and lowering of its rear part, and conversely. Furthermore, any lengthening of the sitting portion preferably results in raising the top portion (4) of the seat-back and conversely.
