Abstract: A vehicle includes a grille assembly, a radiator, and a bumper reinforcement beam. In addition, the vehicle includes an air deflector assembly that further includes an air deflector body portion that extends away from the radiator in the vehicle longitudinal direction over the bumper reinforcement beam and toward the grille assembly. The air deflector body portion includes an upper wall portion and an intermediate wall portion. The intermediate wall portion intersects the upper wall portion at an angle. The air deflector body portion includes a lower wall portion that is offset from the upper wall portion in the vehicle lateral direction by the upper wall portion. The intermediate wall portion intersects the lower wall portion at an angle so to facilitate collapsing of the air deflector body portion upon a vertical impact by a leg impactor during a pedestrian leg impact test.

Abstract: A front hood assembly for a vehicle including a front grille may include a sensory assembly, a bumper assembly positioned adjacent to the front grille, and an energy absorber structure. The bumper assembly may include a bumper reinforcement having a front face and a top face, which front face is disposed below and extends away from the top face. The energy absorber structure may be positioned adjacent to the top face of the bumper reinforcement. The energy absorber structure may be rearwardly compliant in an impact direction and disposed below and rearwardly of the sensory assembly such that an impact of the sensory assembly with the energy absorber structure in the impact direction collapses the energy absorber structure rearwardly.
