Motor vehicle lock

A motor vehicle lock comprising:

• a catch configured to be pivoted between an open position, a primary closed position, and a secondary closed position, wherein the secondary closed position is disposed between the open position and the primary closed position;
• a pawl, wherein when the catch is in either the primary closed position or the secondary closed position, the pawl engages the catch;
• drive element configured to rotate about a drive-element axis in a drive direction from a first position, a second position, and a third position;
• and
• a catch engagement lever pivotally coupled to the drive element about a catch-engagement-lever axis, wherein during the cinching sequence, the drive element rotates about the drive-element axis in the drive direction from the first position to the second position so that the catch engagement lever rotates about the catch-engagement-lever axis in a first direction and translates towards the catch.

• and
• a knee lever mechanism including
• a drive element configured to rotate about a drive-element axis in a drive direction from a first position, a second position, and a third position, and
• a catch engagement lever pivotally coupled to the drive element about a catch-engagement-lever axis, wherein during the cinching sequence, the drive element rotates about the drive-element axis in the drive direction from the first position to the second position so that the catch engagement lever is driven towards the catch so that the catch moves from the secondary closed position to the primary closed position.
