The invention belongs to the technical field of an automobile and discloses a vibration isolator. The vibration isolator comprises a bottom plate, a friction assembly arranged on the bottom plate, a shell, a first reset piece and a second reset piece, wherein the bottom of the shell is arranged in the friction assembly in a sliding mode and can abut against the friction assembly, the first reset piece is arranged in the shell, two ends of the first reset piece abut against an inner wall of the shell and the bottom plate respectively, the second reset piece is arranged in the first reset pieceand connected with the first reset piece in parallel, and two ends of the second reset piece selectively abut against an inner wall of the shell and the bottom plate respectively. The vibration isolator is advantaged in that when high frequency and small load exist, the first reset piece provides rigidity needed by vibration attenuation, the small friction force between the friction assembly and the shell provides damping, rigidity and damping at the moment are small, and high-frequency vibration attenuation is facilitated; when an impact or large-load working condition is met, the two stagesof reset pieces act at the same time, rigidity of the system is improved, the shell can abut against the friction assembly, friction damping is increased, and the requirement for large-rigidity and large-damping isolation impact at low frequency is met.
