When the suction opening portion is covered with the decoration grill from the front side of a vehicle, the suction chamber filled with air is formed on the front side of the suction opening portion , and the communication passage to connect the suction chamber with the outside of the suction chamber in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the vehicle is formed into a labyrinth structure by the decoration grill , bumper cover and front end panel . Due to the above structure, it is possible to supply air, which has been sucked from the outside of the engine compartment, to the engine while foreign material, such as rain water and snow, is prevented from being sucked into the engine.
