Motor vehicle lock having a lock latch and a pawl arrangement , wherein the lock latch is pivotable into at least one locking position, in particular a main locking position and optionally a pre-locking position, in which it is in each case in holding engagement with a locking part , and into an open position, in which it releases the locking part , wherein the pawl arrangement has a pivotably mounted pawl which interacts with the lock latch and can be brought into an engagement position and a disengagement position, a pivotably mounted intermediate lever which interacts with the pawl and can be brought into a basic position and a deflection position, and a movably mounted blocking part interacting with the intermediate lever , in particular a pivotably mounted blocking lever, which can be brought into a blocking position and a release position, wherein, in the engagement position, the pawl blocks the lock latch , which is in the respective locking position, against pivoting in its opening direction , and, in the disengagement position, releases the lock latch in its opening direction , wherein, in the blocking position, the blocking part blocks the intermediate lever , which is in the basic position, against pivoting in the deflection direction thereof, and, in the release position, releases the intermediate lever in the deflection direction thereof, wherein, in the basic position of the intermediate lever , the pawl is in its engagement position or is pivotable into its engagement position, and wherein the intermediate lever upon pivoting from its basic position into its deflection position brings the pawl into its disengagement position, characterized in that the blocking part has a contour arrangement with a pressing contour , and in that during the, in particular motor-driven, movement of the blocking part in its release direction , a force, in particular compressive force, can be exerted by the blocking part via its pressing contour on the intermediate lever , owing to which a torque is produced on the intermediate lever about its intermediate lever pivot axis in the deflection direction thereof. wherein the pawl arrangement has a pivotably mounted pawl which interacts with the lock latch and can be brought into an engagement position and a disengagement position, a pivotably mounted intermediate lever which interacts with the pawl and can be brought into a basic position and a deflection position, and a movably mounted blocking part interacting with the intermediate lever , in particular a pivotably mounted blocking lever, which can be brought into a blocking position and a release position, wherein, in the engagement position, the pawl blocks the lock latch , which is in the respective locking position, against pivoting in its opening direction , and, in the disengagement position, releases the lock latch in its opening direction , wherein, in the blocking position, the blocking part blocks the intermediate lever , which is in the basic position, against pivoting in the deflection direction thereof, and, in the release position, releases the intermediate lever in the deflection direction thereof, wherein, in the basic position of the intermediate lever , the pawl is in its engagement position or is pivotable into its engagement position, and wherein the intermediate lever upon pivoting from its basic position into its deflection position brings the pawl into its disengagement position, characterized in that the blocking part has a contour arrangement with a pressing contour , and in that during the, in particular motor-driven, movement of the blocking part in its release direction , a force, in particular compressive force, can be exerted by the blocking part via its pressing contour on the intermediate lever , owing to which a torque is produced on the intermediate lever about its intermediate lever pivot axis in the deflection direction thereof. <EOS>
