An exhaust system has at least one exhaust tailpipe which is led through a rear apron of the motor vehicle. The drive train of the vehicle has a rear axle. An air duct is provided in a rear region, which air duct supplies exterior air to the at least one exhaust tailpipe at least in sections. The rear axle has at least one rear axle cover at least in sections. An air inlet opening of the air duct is arranged behind the rear axle cover in a travel direction of the motor vehicle. As a result of the design of the motor vehicle, the rear apron is protected from impingement by hot exhaust gases.

An illumination apparatus for the interior of a motor vehicle includes a housing on which a light-transmissive cover is provided, and an illuminant configured to produce light in the interior of the housing, the light emerging from the illumination apparatus through the cover to illuminate the interior. The cover includes a faceted outer surface made of a plurality of plane facets. Further, the illuminant includes one or more flat lighting elements in the interior of the housing, each flat lighting element having two extensive opposing side surfaces and an edge situated between the side surfaces, the illuminant being configured such that light is emitted through both side surfaces of a respective flat lighting element during operation, with the light emerging from the illumination apparatus through the cover.
