A vehicle seat has a seat frame assembly including a seat base frame that may be shifted between a raised position and a lowered position, and a seatback frame pivotally attached to the seat base frame and foldable from a vertical position to a position atop the collapsed base frame. The seat base frame is pivotally connected to the vehicle floor by at least one front pivot leg which is pivotally connected for rotation with respect to both the vehicle floor and the base frame. A motor is mounted in a stationary position on the vehicle floor and connected to provide a relative torque between the seat base frame and one of the at least one pivot legs for powered movement of the seat base frame to and from the use position and the stow position.
