An air vent for a vehicle includes a housing (10) and an air-guiding element (30), wherein the air-guiding element (30) is mounted in the housing (10) so as to be pivotable in different directions about at least one centre of rotation (D), wherein a first drive element acts on the air-guiding element (30) at a first engagement point (A1), and a second drive element acts on the air-guiding element (30) at a second engagement point (A2), wherein the second engagement point (A2) defines, with the at least one centre of rotation (D) of the air-guiding element (30), a first pivot axis (S1) about which the first drive element pivots the air-guiding element (30), and wherein the first engagement point (A1) defines, with the at least one centre of rotation (D) of the air-guiding element (30), a second pivot axis (S2) about which the second drive element pivots the air-guiding element (30).
