A motor vehicle with a central console (10, 20), which is equipped with at least one resting surface (14, 24), a lid, a monitor, an operating panel and/or a touchscreen (15, 25) between two seats in the motor vehicle, wherein the central console (10, 20) is movable from a first usage state in a first position into a second usage state in a second position, wherein the position of the resting surface (14, 24), the lid, the monitor, the operating panel and/or the touchscreen (15, 25) changes between the first usage state and the second usage state, and the central console (10, 20) in the second usage state leaves a free space between the seats, and wherein when the central console (10, 20) is moved, the resting surface (14, 24), the lid, the monitor, the operating panel and/or the touchscreen (15, 25) is movable from a first, essentially horizontal situation in the first usage state into a second, upright, almost vertical situation in the second usage state, wherein the central console (10, 20) is foldable from the first usage state into the second usage state by pivoting around a transverse axis, wherein the central console (10, 20) has a base (11, 21), a column (12, 22), a projection (13, 23) and a pivot joint (16, 26), wherein • the base and the column are connected via the pivot joint and the column and the projection form a unit, or • the base and the column form a unit and the column and the projection are connected via the pivot joint, and the pivot axis of the pivot point of the pivot joint (16, 26) is arranged transverse to the longitudinal axis of the column (12, 22) and transverse to the course of a rail, characterized in that the central console (10, 20) is displaceable from the first position into the second position and vice versa along the rail to the dashboard by means of a first actuator, and the central console (10, 20) in the second usage state leaves a free space between the seats so that at least one of the seats is movable by at least 45°, or at least 90°, about its longitudinal axis perpendicular to the vehicle floor past the central console (10, 20), wherein the second usage state is a stowage state, in which the central console (10, 20) is at least partially integrated in the dashboard and/or is adapted to the contour of the dashboard, wherein in the first usage state, an arm of a vehicle passenger can be rested on the at least one resting surface (14, 24) and the touchscreen (15, 25) and/or the operating panel can be operated with the rested arm, and in the second usage state, the touchscreen (15, 25), the operating panel and/or the monitor is located at least in the peripheral field of vision of a vehicle passenger when looking at the dashboard. wherein the central console (10, 20) is movable from a first usage state in a first position into a second usage state in a second position, wherein the position of the resting surface (14, 24), the lid, the monitor, the operating panel and/or the touchscreen (15, 25) changes between the first usage state and the second usage state, and the central console (10, 20) in the second usage state leaves a free space between the seats, and wherein when the central console (10, 20) is moved, the resting surface (14, 24), the lid, the monitor, the operating panel and/or the touchscreen (15, 25) is movable from a first, essentially horizontal situation in the first usage state into a second, upright, almost vertical situation in the second usage state, wherein the central console (10, 20) is foldable from the first usage state into the second usage state by pivoting around a transverse axis, wherein the central console (10, 20) has a base (11, 21), a column (12, 22), a projection (13, 23) and a pivot joint (16, 26), wherein • the base and the column are connected via the pivot joint and the column and the projection form a unit, or • the base and the column form a unit and the column and the projection are connected via the pivot joint, and • the base and the column are connected via the pivot joint and the column and the projection form a unit, or • the base and the column form a unit and the column and the projection are connected via the pivot joint, and the pivot axis of the pivot point of the pivot joint (16, 26) is arranged transverse to the longitudinal axis of the column (12, 22) and transverse to the course of a rail, characterized in that the central console (10, 20) is displaceable from the first position into the second position and vice versa along the rail to the dashboard by means of a first actuator, and the central console (10, 20) in the second usage state leaves a free space between the seats so that at least one of the seats is movable by at least 45°, or at least 90°, about its longitudinal axis perpendicular to the vehicle floor past the central console (10, 20), wherein the second usage state is a stowage state, in which the central console (10, 20) is at least partially integrated in the dashboard and/or is adapted to the contour of the dashboard, wherein in the first usage state, an arm of a vehicle passenger can be rested on the at least one resting surface (14, 24) and the touchscreen (15, 25) and/or the operating panel can be operated with the rested arm, and in the second usage state, the touchscreen (15, 25), the operating panel and/or the monitor is located at least in the peripheral field of vision of a vehicle passenger when looking at the dashboard.
