Front Grille
The front grille is the opening at the front of the car that lets air reach the radiator and engine, and carries the brand’s styling and badge.
What is Front Grille?
Electric cars often have closed grilles because they need less cooling air. Radar sensors for driver assistance may sit behind the grille or badge. Active shutters behind the grille can open and close. The size of the grille openings is a compromise between cooling, drag and styling.
How it works
Slats or mesh guide air into the radiator and intercooler while keeping out large debris.
Why it matters for your car
Aftermarket grilles or badges can block radar sensors and cause warnings. Clear snow and insects from the grille to keep cooling and sensors working.
