A motor vehicle has an air intake system with an air duct. The air duct has an air inlet for taking in ambient air and an air outlet. The air duct has a curved bent section which, upstream, is closer to a vehicle running surface than downstream. In the event of a water level of water entering the air duct that is rising parallel to the vehicle running surface, the internal cross section of the bent section is closed by the water before the water can pass the bent section. A plurality of air openings downstream of the bent section is introduced through a wall of the duct in an outer surface of the duct that points away from the vehicle running surface.
