Zusammenfassung:A hybrid exterior rear view mirror assembly for motor vehicles is described, including a mirror base and an exterior rear view mirror. The mirror base and the exterior rear view mirror are hinged together, so that the exterior rear view mirror can be pivoted about a hinge axis in relation to the mirror base from an operating position into a folding position and vice versa. The hybrid exterior rear view mirror assembly allows the provision of either hand-operated or electromotively operated pivoting of the exterior rear view mirror about the hinge axis in relation to the mirror base, by using one and the same mirror base. For this purpose, the mirror base comprises means for acceptance, optionally, of an axis forming the hinge axis, or of a pivot drive including the hinge axis, whereby the axis is provided for hand-operated pivoting and the pivot drive is provided for electromotively operated pivoting.
