An active front wheel deflector assembly () including a deflector panel () moveable between a stowed position and at least one deployed position wherein the deployment of the deflector panel () moves the deflector panel () into an airflow to direct air and improves aerodynamics. The active front wheel deflector assembly () combines linear actuation with rotational motion.

An active underbody panel system having a frame arrangement mounted under the vehicle and at least one deployable panel moveable between stowed and deployed positions to improve aerodynamics under the vehicle. A deployment/retraction mechanism is provided having a pair of linkage assemblies and driven by an actuator, which allows the deployable panel(s) to be moved automatically downward into the air flow as needed.
