A seat assembly for a vehicle includes a seat, and a rail assembly operably connected to the seat to guide a forward/aft adjustment of a position of the seat in a direction parallel to a direction of the rail assembly. The rail assembly includes a forward/aft adjustment zone and a tilt adjustment zone. A seat motor is operably connected to the seat. The seat motor is configured to drive the seat along the rail assembly. A tilt adjustment mechanism is configured such that when the seat enters the tilt adjustment zone the seat is urged forward in a tilting motion about a seat pivot relative to the rail assembly, via translation of linear motion of the seat along the rail assembly into rotation of the seat about the seat pivot. The seat motor is configured to drive both the forward/aft adjustment and the tilting motion of the seat.
