The utility model provides a latch assembly for an automotive vehicle. The latch assembly comprises a latch and a pawl separating component, wherein the pawl is configured into a pawl for maintaining the closing state of the latch and driven to release the latch and is coated with semi-rigid post-forming materials; and the pawl separating component absorbs the energy in the operation process of the latch assembly and is abutted with the outer surface of the pawl. The utility model further provides an energy absorption assembly for the automotive vehicle, which comprises the pawl and the pawl separating component, wherein the pawl is at least partially coated with the semi-rigid materials, and the pawl separating component is abutted with the surface of the pawl to absorb the energy in the operation process of the pawl and comprises a hole penetrating through the pawl separating component. According to the latch assembly and the energy absorption assembly for the automotive vehicle, the sound generated in the operation process of a door lock mechanism of the automotive vehicle is beneficially attenuated.
