A vehicular interior rearview mirror assembly includes a mounting base and a mirror head accommodating a mirror reflective element. An adjustment mechanism is operable to adjust the mirror head between a first orientation and a second orientation. The adjustment mechanism includes an electrically operable motor that drives a main gear, a torque element, an output element coupled to the mirror head and a biasing element coupled to the torque element. With the mirror head in the first orientation, during a first stage of operation of the motor, the motor drives the main gear in a first direction and generates a biasing force at the torque element. During a second stage of operation of the motor, the motor drives the main gear further in the first direction and the biasing force imparts movement of the torque and output element to adjust the mirror head toward the second orientation.
