See full text

The invention provides a vehicle seat device including fewer restrictions with respect to seat function and which can be switched from a seating position to a storage position by motive power. In a vehicle seat (10), a vehicle width direction outer side end portion of a seat cushion (12) is supported so as to be capable of rotating around a drive shaft (30) having an axis along a vehicle front-rear direction, and the seat cushion can be switched between a seating configuration at which an occupant can be seated and a storage configuration at which the seat cushion (12) stands erect along a vehicle cabin inner side surface S, due to rotating around the drive shaft (30). A drive motor (42) is fixed to a vehicle body floor F at an installation side of the rotation shaft (30) with respect to a vehicle width direction center portion of the seat cushion (12), the drive motor (42) switching the seat cushion between the seating position and the storage position due to rotation of the drive shaft (30) that is fixed to the seat cushion (12).
