The invention relates to an automobile seat (2) comprising a backrest (4), a seat portion (6), a backrest pivoting mechanism (18), and a two-link seat-portion pivoting mechanism (10), wherein the seat portion is fastened to the backrest (4) or the backrest pivoting mechanism (18) so that it is pivotable about a first transverse axis (10) and the backrest (4) is fastened to the backrest pivoting mechanism so that it is pivotable about a second transverse axis (12), so that the backrest (4) may be pivoted from a usage position in which the seat portion (6) adopts a first position, forward about the second transverse axis (12) into a nonusage position, in which the seat portion (6) occupies a second position, in which the seat portion (6) is displaced rearward with respect to the first position. According to the invention, it is provided that the backrest pivoting mechanism (18) is a four-link backrest pivoting mechanism (18), which is configured in such a manner that the second transverse axis (12) may be displaced rearward into the nonusage position by pivoting the backrest (4).
