This invention provides an active air intake grille, belonging to the field of automotive component technology, comprising: a grille body, the grille body having an arcuate structure; a flexible shaft, the flexible shaft being bent wholly or partially according to the
arcuate shape of the grille body, and the flexible shaft being rotatably mounted on the grille body; a blade
assembly, the blade
assembly including at least two grille blades, each of the grille blades being arranged according to the
arcuate shape of the grille body, each of the grille blades being connected to the flexible shaft, and the flexible shaft driving each of the grille blades to rotate when rotated; it also relates to an automobile, including an active air intake grille. The beneficial effect of this invention is that, based on setting the grille body as an arcuate structure, the flexible shaft can synchronously drive each grille blade arranged in an arcuate plane on the grille body to rotate, thereby achieving the purpose of non-linear transmission.
