A vehicle and method are provided for monitoring and changing quality of air in a passenger compartment of a vehicle so that the air quality remains above a predeterminable threshold value. The vehicle has an air quality sensing device and an air quality changing device. The method includes sensing the quality of the air in the passenger compartment and in the surroundings of the vehicle with the air quality sensing device; and in the event that the quality of the air in the passenger compartment of the vehicle drops below the predeterminable threshold value, changing the quality of the air in the passenger compartment of the vehicle with the air quality changing device so that the quality of the air in the passenger compartment rises above the predeterminable threshold value.
