Vehicle with deformable energy absorbing member

The motor vehicle has at least one unfinished part (3,5), an inner cladding part for the unfinished part and an energy absorbing deformation element (23) between the unfinished part and the cladding part in the form of an elongated hollow profile plate with at least one attachment leg (25) and at least one deformation leg (26). The cladding part is attached to the unfinished part by a deformable supporting element matched to the deformation element in its deformation characteristic and the deformation leg is at a distance (AB) from the unfinished part.
