A lower structure of a vehicle is configured to include a floor panel, an exhaust member arranged below the floor panel, and a cover member provided between the floor panel and the exhaust member and attached to the floor panel. The cover member includes front fixation portions provided on the front side and fixed to the floor panel and a bead portion arranged behind the front fixation portions and extending in a vehicle width direction.

Vehicle lower structure

A vehicle lower structure includes an under cover. The under cover includes: a cover body located under an exhaust pipe and installed on a vehicle body; a lid detachably attached to the cover body and configured to close a work hole penetrating the cover body in an upper-lower direction when the lid is attached to the cover body and to open the work hole when the lid is detached from the cover body; and a baffle made of a metal material and installed in an area of an upper surface of the lid that includes a portion closest to the exhaust pipe and its surroundings.

The disclosure provides a vehicle body lower structure, which can improve aerodynamic performance and improve driving stability. The vehicle body lower structure includes an airflow guiding plate that is arranged on the vehicle body of a vehicle and is movable between a receiving position covering the lower part of the vehicle body and a deploying position protruding downward. The airflow guiding plate includes a first airflow guiding plate and a second airflow guiding plate. The first airflow guiding plate is arranged in front of the left and right front wheels of the vehicle, and the second airflow guiding plate is arranged under the center of the vehicle body. Moreover, the protruding amount of the first airflow guiding plate is different from the protruding amount of the second airflow guiding plate in the deploying position.

Vehicle body lower structure

The vehicle body lower structure includes an airflow guiding plate that is arranged on the vehicle body of a vehicle and is movable between a receiving position covering the lower part of the vehicle body and a deploying position protruding downward. Specifically, the airflow guiding plate includes a front airflow guiding plate and a rear airflow guiding plate. The front airflow guiding plate is rotatably arranged on the vehicle body with its front end, and the rear airflow guiding plate is rotatably arranged with its front end on the rear end of the front airflow guiding plate, and its rear end is slidably arranged on the vehicle body in the front-rear direction of the vehicle. Moreover, the orientation of the front airflow guiding plate is different from the orientation of the rear airflow guiding plate in the deploying position.

The disclosure provides a vehicle body lower structure, which may improve aerodynamic performance and inhibit the airflow guiding plate from being over-expanded or detached. The vehicle body lower structure includes an airflow guiding plate that is arranged on the vehicle body of a vehicle and is movable between a receiving position covering the lower part of the vehicle body and a deploying position protruding downward. The vehicle body lower structure further includes: a hook member, which is provided on the upper surface of the airflow guiding plate. When the airflow guiding plate is in the deploying position, the hook member is locked onto the buckle part of the vehicle body. When the airflow guiding plate is located at the receiving position, the hook member is separated from the buckle part of the vehicle body.

Provided is a vehicle body lower structure. The vehicle body lower structure includes an airflow guiding plate that is arranged on the vehicle body of a vehicle and is movable between a receiving position covering the lower part of the vehicle body and a deploying position protruding downward. The vehicle body lower structure further includes: a shaft member, which extends in the left-right direction of the vehicle, thereby rotatably connecting the front end of the airflow guiding plate to the vehicle body; a belt member, one end of which is connected to the airflow guiding plate and the other end thereof is connected the vehicle body; and an actuator, which is used to wind the belt member. In addition, the belt member is bent when the airflow guiding plate moves from the deploying position to the receiving position.

A windshield glass support structure is provided that is capable of absorbing an impact load caused by external force even if the external force is applied at any angle to an outer surface of the windshield glass. The windshield glass support structure includes a windshield support panel that extends toward a lower end of the windshield glass from a cross member, and a glass support member that inclines rearward in the vehicle front-rear direction and upward in the vehicle up-down direction from a front edge of the windshield support panel along a lower side surface of the windshield glass. The glass support member is arranged to be deformable when external force is applied in any direction from a front in the vehicle front-rear direction.

Windshield glass support structure

A structure () for a front portion of a vehicle includes: a windshield lower member (); a cross member () fixed to the windshield lower member (); paired damper housings () disposed in front of both ends of the cross member (); and paired damper housing supports () arranged between the cross member () and the damper housing () to drain water. The windshield lower member () and the cross member () define a closed cross section K which extends in the vehicle width direction and serves as a second intake path (R). The cross member () has, in rear of the damper housing supports (), paired left and right outside air intake openings () for outside air to pass therethrough. The windshield base member () has a blower air intake opening () opened to face one of the pair of outside air intake openings ().
