A hinge arrangement for a bonnet of a vehicle comprises a hinge portion adapted to be attached to a body of the vehicle, a bonnet portion adapted to be attached to the bonnet, and a rear deployment guiding element adapted to control transition of the hinge arrangement between a normal position and a deployed position. The hinge portion comprises one or more hinge pivot axes providing a hinged connection between the bonnet and the body of the vehicle allowing opening of the bonnet. The bonnet portion is arranged to be in a fixed position relative to an upper portion of the hinge portion during opening of the bonnet. The bonnet portion as a whole is arranged to be translationally displaced at least upwards in relation to the upper portion of the hinge portion during a transition of the hinge arrangement between the normal position and the deployed position.
