Optional actuatoric door opening support for a vehicle

A vehicle, comprising:

• a vehicle door;
• bodywork;
• and
• a vehicle door arrangement, comprising
• a first closing element arranged on the vehicle door;
• a second closing element arranged on the bodywork of the vehicle,
• wherein the first closing element and the second closing element are configured to be connected to each other in a positive looking manner to hold the vehicle door on the bodywork;
• a door handle arranged on the vehicle door;
• a sensor device connected to the door handle, wherein the sensor device is configured to detect a pressure input or a pulling input of a user on the door handle;
• a control unit connected to the sensor device, wherein the control unit is configured to control a locking actuator and a door opening actuator,
• wherein the locking actuator is configured to separate the first and second closing elements,
• wherein the door opening actuator is configured to open the vehicle door in relation to the bodywork,
• wherein the control unit is configured to control the locking actuator to separate the first closing element and the second closing element in response to a detected pressure input or pulling input, and to control the door opening actuator to open the vehicle door in relation to the bodywork,
• wherein the door handle is at least partially countersunk in the vehicle door when a pressure input is present and is elevatable out of a depression by pressing the door handle.

A method for opening a vehicle door of a vehicle door arrangement of a vehicle, wherein the vehicle door arrangement has a first closing element arranged on a vehicle door and a second closing element arranged on a bodywork of the vehicle, wherein the first closing element and the second closing element are connectable to each other in a positive locking manner to hold the vehicle door on the bodywork, the method comprising:

• performing a pressure input or a pulling input by a user on a door handle arranged on the vehicle door;
• detecting, by a sensor, a pressure input or a pulling input by a user on a door handle arranged on the vehicle door, wherein the sensor is connected to a control unit;
• and
• controlling, by the control unit responsive to the detected pushing input or pulling input, a locking actuator and a door opening actuator in such a way that the locking actuator is controlled to separate the first closing element and the second closing element, and the door opening actuator is controlled to open the vehicle door relative to the bodywork wherein the door handle is at least partially countersunk in the vehicle door when a pressure input is present and is elevatable out of a depression by pressing the door handle.
