Abstract

See full text

A hinge assembly for an engine hood of a motor vehicle, having a hinge substructure, which can be attached to a body component of the motor vehicle, and having a hinge upper part, which can be attached to the engine hood. The hinge upper part is retained on the hinge substructure so as to pivot about a pivoting axis. The hinge assembly includes at least one support element, which enables deformation of the hinge substructure in a first direction, in which the hinge substructure can be moved away from a limit stop area of the at least one support element. The at least one support element limits deformation of the hinge substructure in a second direction opposite the first direction by means of the limit stop area. Furthermore, the invention relates to a motor vehicle having at least one such hinge assembly.
