A vehicle includes a hood. The hood includes a hood outer and a hood inner. The hood inner has a plate shape, covers a lower surface of the hood outer, and is made of resin. A space is provided between the hood outer and the hood inner. The hood inner includes a shock absorbing portion that is bent so as to project toward the space. The shock absorbing portion has a central portion located at a center of the shock absorbing portion in a right-left direction of the vehicle and side portions located on respective sides of the central portion in the right-left direction. A thickness of the hood inner in the central portion is thicker than a thickness of the hood inner in the side portions.

A vehicle is disclosed that includes a vehicle body and at least one sensor assembly that is supported on the vehicle body. The at least one sensor assembly is configured to detect an external object and includes a housing portion and a sensor that is supported within the housing portion such that the sensor is oriented at a fixed (e.g., downward) angle.

Provided is a vehicle front body structure comprising a port device (30) received in a housing (36) and mounted to a vehicle body under a front hood (7). A lid (58) is provided on the housing to selectively close a port opening (21) in the front hood, the lid being provided with a lid plate (59) that selectively closes the port opening, and a hinge arm (61) extending from the lid plate into the housing and rotatably connected to the housing via a hinge shaft (75) extending laterally.

A motor vehicle having a vehicle body, an engine compartment (10) housing an engine (12) and a bonnet seal arrangement (30, 34). The bonnet seal arrangement defines an opening (35) and is configured to deflect ram air received at the front of the motor vehicle (2) in use past the opening (35) to define a first air flow path, and draw air from the first air flow path through the opening (35) to define a second air flow path for supplying air to the intake duct orifice (42), the second air flow path being angled in a horizontal plane to the first air flow path.

An apparatus for automatically opening and closing a trunk lid includes a drum member connected to a first cable and rotatably coupled to a drum bracket fastened to a hinge arm, a power latch cinching actuator including an output gear configured to be rotated by a motor embedded in a housing, and an elastic spring having a first end coupled to the drum member and a second end configured to be coupled to the trunk lid, wherein the first cable is coupled to the output gear and is configured to rotate the drum member in a first direction when the output gear is rotated.
