[0038] This application provides a vehicle. It should be noted that the vehicle in this application can refer to large cars, small cars, special-purpose vehicles, etc. For example, according to vehicle type, the vehicle in this application can be a sedan, an off-road vehicle, a multi-purpose vehicle (MPV), or other types of vehicles. The vehicle can include range-extended electric vehicles (REEVs) and pure electric vehicles. Both REEVs and pure electric vehicles have a front bumper assembly 100, which includes components such as a lower grille. However, due to the influence of spatial structure, width, and length dimensions, the lower grille can only be used in a single vehicle type. REEVs and pure electric vehicles have different cooling requirements and overall vehicle aerodynamic drag requirements, making it difficult to achieve platform-based universality for the front bumper lower grille between REEVs and pure electric vehicles.

[0039] Based on this, refer to Figure 3 , Figure 6 This application provides a front bumper assembly 100, which includes a front bumper body 10, a mesh grille 20, and an active air intake grille 30. The front bumper body 10 has a mounting window 11, and both the mesh grille 20 and the active air intake grille 30 can be installed into the mounting window 11. However, during installation, only one of the mesh grille 20 and the active air intake grille 30 can be installed.

[0040] The mesh grille 20 includes a first grille body 21 and a grille mesh 23. The first grille body 21 is provided with a first air inlet 22, and the grille mesh 23 is located at the first air inlet 22. The first grille body 21 is arranged around the grille mesh 23. The first grille body 21 can be a frame structure for supporting and installing the grille mesh 23.

[0041] The mounting window 11 has multiple first mounting portions arranged at intervals along its periphery; the first grille body 21 has multiple second mounting portions arranged at intervals along its outer periphery. Each first mounting portion corresponds to one of the second mounting portions and is detachably connected. This connection secures the mesh grille 20 to the front bumper body 10 and also increases the structural strength of the mesh grille 20. When the mesh grille 20 needs to be replaced or repaired, it can be removed from the front bumper body 10 by detaching the second mounting portions.

[0042] The fuel automobile or the extended range electric vehicle has high cooling requirement, but has low whole vehicle wind resistance requirement. The mesh grille 20 is installed on the front bumper body 10 of the fuel automobile or the extended range electric vehicle. When the fuel automobile or the extended range electric vehicle runs, the airflow can enter the vehicle through the grille net 23 to achieve the purpose of cooling the fuel automobile or the extended range electric vehicle.

[0043] The active air inlet grille 30 comprises a second grille body and a guide vane 326. The second grille body is provided with a second air inlet. The guide vane 326 is pivotally installed on the second air inlet. The second grille body is arranged around the guide vane 326. The second grille body can be a frame structure for supporting and installing the guide vane 326.

[0044] The periphery of the installation window 11 is provided with a plurality of first installation parts. The plurality of first installation parts are arranged at intervals along the periphery of the installation window 11. The outer periphery of the second grille body is provided with a plurality of second installation parts. The plurality of second installation parts are arranged at intervals along the outer periphery of the second grille body. The plurality of first installation parts correspond to the plurality of second installation parts one by one and are detachably connected. The plurality of first installation parts and the plurality of second installation parts are connected to fix the active air inlet grille 30 to the front bumper body 10 and can also be used to increase the structural strength of the active air inlet grille 30 fixed to the front bumper body 10. When the active air inlet grille 30 needs to be replaced or repaired, the second installation parts can be detached from the front bumper body 10 to detach the active air inlet grille 30 from the front bumper body 10.

[0045] The pure electric vehicle has low cooling requirement, but has high whole vehicle wind resistance requirement. The active air inlet grille 30 is installed on the front bumper body 10 of the pure electric vehicle. When the pure electric vehicle runs, the second air inlet can be opened or closed through the guide vane 326. When the guide vane 326 opens the second air inlet, the airflow can enter the vehicle through the second air inlet to achieve the purpose of cooling the pure electric vehicle. When the guide vane 326 closes the second air inlet, the airflow entering the vehicle is reduced, the wind resistance is reduced, and the endurance mileage of the pure electric vehicle is improved. By arranging the active air inlet grille 30, the airflow entering the vehicle can be selected to meet the requirements of the pure electric vehicle.
