[0036] The central armrest of a vehicle is an armrest structure installed in the middle of the front seats to provide elbow support for the front row passengers. The central armrest of a vehicle is usually provided with a storage cavity for storing items. Currently, a flip-up cover is mainly provided at the opening of the storage cavity to open or close the storage cavity. When in use, the cover needs to be flipped backwards to open the storage cavity. When opening the storage cavity, the rear passengers need to reach out to the front end of the armrest seat to grab the cover in order to apply force to the cover to drive the cover to rotate. This makes the process of opening the storage cavity for the rear passengers extremely cumbersome and inconvenient. Moreover, after the cover is opened, it will be in an upright state at the end of the central armrest close to the rear row, which is inconvenient for the rear passengers to take items.

[0037] The utility model provides a central armrest of a vehicle and the vehicle, aiming to solve the problem that it is inconvenient for rear passengers to open the storage cavity of the central armrest.
