A rearview vision system for a vehicle includes a camera module disposed at a side portion of the vehicle. The camera module includes a casing, a reflective element disposed in the casing, and a camera disposed in the casing and having a field of view that encompasses at least a portion of the reflective element. The camera module is disposed at the side portion of the vehicle so that images of the exterior scene occurring to the side and rear of the vehicle are reflected off of the reflective element and image data representative of the reflected images is captured by the camera. A display device displays images derived from the captured image data representative of the reflected images so as to provide a sideward and rearward field of view to the driver when the driver is viewing the display device.
