Motor-vehicle dashboard of modular construction, comprising:

• an upper part module which extends below a windscreen substantially over an entire width of a vehicle interior,
• a driver's side module which is fastened below the upper part module on the driver's side,
• a front-passenger's side module which is fastened below the upper part module on the front-passenger's side, and
• a central console module which is fastened below the upper part module between the driver's side module and the front-passenger's side module,
• wherein a variable module is arranged below the upper part module between the central console module and the front-passenger's side module, the variable module being fastened to one of the central console module, the front-passenger's side module and the upper part module, said variable module being designed, in a special equipment variant, as a functional element associated with an additional function for the dashboard, and being designed, in a standard equipment variant, as a paneling element without an additional function whose outside is shaped in order to form a smooth transition between outsides of the central console module and the front-passenger's side module.
