An air guide duct for water ingress management having at least one air inlet and at least one air outlet channel which has an upstream inlet opening in fluid communication with the at least one air inlet and a downstream outlet opening into at least one of the front wheel wells, whereby incoming air from the front end of the motor vehicle is guided into at least one of the front wheel wells. A bottom surface of the upstream inlet opening is disposed at a first vertical position and a bottom surface of the downstream outlet opening is disposed at a second vertical position, with the bottom surface of the downstream outlet opening being disposed lower than the bottom surface of the upstream inlet opening relative to the front wheel wells such that a height differential is defined between the first vertical position and the second vertical position.
