Abstract
A seat construction for a vehicle includes a driver's seat angularly movable about a generally vertical axis toward a door opening formed in a side portion of a vehicle body. When a sliding driver door is opened, the driver's seat is angularly moved toward the door opening, so that the driver can easily get in and off the vehicle. An open area of the door opening, available when the sliding driver door is opened, is disposed slightly forwardly, and therefore the angle of angular movement of the driver's seat required for the driver to get in and off the vehicle can be relatively small.
