The present disclosure relates to a hinge arrangement (11) adapted to be located at an end portion (15, 17) of a bonnet (5) of a vehicle (3) and being transitable between a normal state and a deployed state. The hinge arrangement comprises a hinge portion (19), a bracket portion (21), a deployment guiding arrangement (23) and a lifting member (37). The hinge portion comprises a first member (25), a second member (27) and a first pivot axis (A1) providing a hinged connection between the first member and second member. The deployment guiding arrangement comprises a multi-link connection between the bracket portion and the first member of the hinge portion. The lifting member is arranged at an angle less than 45° to a plane spanned by the longitudinal direction and the transverse direction of the hinge arrangement. The bracket portion is arranged to be in a fixed position relative to the first member during movement in the hinged connection. Further, the bracket portion is arranged to be translationally displaced as a whole at least in the vertical direction in relation to the first member of the hinge portion by means of the lifting member acting on the deployment guiding arrangement during the transition of the hinge arrangement between the normal state and the deployed state, the deployment guiding arrangement being adapted to control the transition and the hinged connection being inactive during the transition.
