In order to improve comfort when loading a motor vehicle which has a pivotable tailgate with a first tailgate element and a second tailgate element arranged thereon, the first tailgate element has a first region which can be mounted so as to be pivotable about a first pivoting axis arranged in the upper region of the vehicle body. The first tailgate element has a second region which lies opposite its first region and on which a second pivoting axis is arranged. The second tailgate element has a first region which is mounted so as to be pivotable about the second pivoting axis. The second tailgate element has a second region which lies opposite its first region and can be locked to a lower region of the vehicle body. At the second pivoting axis there is a pivoting angle between the first tailgate element and the second tailgate element with a positive rotational direction from the second tailgate element in the direction of the first tailgate element. The second tailgate element is arranged at a negative pivoting angle with respect to the first tailgate element, the absolute value of which pivoting angle is larger in the non-pivoted state of the second tailgate element than in its pivoted state.
