A motor vehicle has a component for recognizing a user based on a mobile device carried by the user and a microphone. Once a user has been recognized from the outside, the microphone converts sound waves acting on the motor vehicle into electrical signals. A speech control unit processes the sound waves transmitted by the microphone. The motor vehicle includes a number of microphones oriented in different directions on different sides of the motor vehicle. The number of microphones convert sound waves into electrical signals and transmit them to the speech control unit. The speech control unit is connected to a plurality of loudspeakers directed towards the surroundings of the vehicle for voice communication with the user, with speech output being provided only via the loudspeaker or loudspeakers closest to the user.
