Hood hinge for a motor vehicle and a motor vehicle

A hood hinge for a motor vehicle comprising:

• a first hinge member configured to attach to a body part of the motor vehicle;
• a second hinge member configured to attach to a front hood of the motor vehicle;
• a lifting mechanism having a first lever rotatably coupled to the first hinge member for rotation about a first rotational axis and a second lever rotatably coupled to the second hinge member for rotation about a second rotational axis, wherein the first and second levers are rotatably coupled to each other at a third rotational axis such that the lifting mechanism is configured to position the second hinge member in relation to the first hinge member from a starting position into an end position such that the front hood is moved relative to the body part from a lowered position into a raised position;
• a traction element extending between the first and second hinge member for generating a traction force, which limits extension of the second hinge member with respect to the first hinge member, wherein the traction element is linked on the first lever and rotatable about the first rotational axis;
• and
• an intermediate element of the first lever is arranged coaxially with respect to the first rotational axis and the traction element is associated with a movement element, which is rotatable about the first rotational axis and at least partially encompasses the intermediate element coaxially with respect to the first rotational axis, wherein the movement element is rotatable in relation to the intermediate element.

A motor vehicle comprising:

• a vehicle body part;
• a front hood;
• and
• a hinge assembly having at least one hood hinge including a first hinge member attached to the vehicle body part, a second hinge member attached to the front hood, a lifting mechanism having a first lever rotatably coupled to the first hinge member for rotation about a first rotational axis and a second lever rotatably coupled to the second hinge member for rotation about a second rotational axis, and a traction element extending between the first and second hinge member for generating a traction force, which limits extension of the second hinge member with respect to the first hinge member, wherein the traction element is linked on a fastening element connected in a rotationally-fixed manner to the first lever, wherein the fastening element extends outwardly from one of the rotational axes of the first lever;
• wherein the first and second levers are rotatably coupled to each other at a third rotational axis such that the lifting mechanism is configured to position the second hinge member in relation to the first hinge member from a starting position into an end position such that the front hood is moved relative to the body part from a lowered position into a raised position.
