A hood hinge for a front hood of a vehicle, said hood hinge comprising:

• a hinge lower part for attachment to a vehicle body;
• a bearing element movably mounted in the hinge lower part;
• a hinge upper part for attachment to the front hood;
• first and second link levers connecting the hinge lower part with the hinge upper part, with the first link lever being constructed telescopically and its telescopic function being lockable;
• a lifting actuator connected to the hinge lower part via the bearing element and configured to undergo a change in length in relation to the bearing element between a passive state and an activated active state to raise the hinge upper part, with the bearing element assuming a rest position in the passive state of the lifting actuator and with the bearing element being moved to an active position, when the lifting actuator is activated;
• and
• a release device in operative connection with the bearing element for releasing the telescopic function of the first link lever, with the release device being actuated, when the bearing element is moved from the rest position to the active position.
