The vehicle (10) has a door opening (14) lockable by a motor vehicle door. Devices (16, 18) are provided for forming air flow during opening the motor vehicle door, where the air flow is continuously protruded through the door opening and directed to outer side of the vehicle. The devices have fans (20, 28) and/or a compressor for generating overpressure in a passenger compartment (12). The devices are activatable by a door opening signal, and the overpressure is higher than air pressure in surrounding area of the vehicle. An independent claim is also included for a method for opening a door of a motor vehicle.
