Abstract: A deflector comprises a protrusion portion which protrudes downward, including a slant face portion slanting obliquely rearward and downward, and a vertical wall portion which is provided in back of the protrusion portion to extend in a vehicle width direction. A lower end portion of the vertical wall portion is positioned at a lower level than a rear end portion of the slant face portion. The lower end portion of part of the vertical wall portion located inward from the other part of the vertical wall portion located so as to overlap the front wheel in a front view is positioned at a higher level than the lower end portion of the other part of the vertical wall portion located so as to overlap the front wheel in the front view.

Abstract: A rim portion of a vehicle wheel has an outer flange portion. In a region of the outer flange portion, a space portion between spoke portions is disposed on a radial-direction inner side, a first inclined surface and a second inclined surface are provided. The first inclined surface is provided on an axial-direction outer side of an outer flange outer circumferential portion. The second inclined surface is on an axial-direction outer side of an outer flange inner circumferential portion. The first inclined surface is formed to incline from the axial-direction outer side toward an axial-direction inner side as the first inclined surface extends from a radial-direction outer side end toward the radial-direction inner side. The second inclined surface is a surface formed to incline from the axial-direction inner side toward the axial-direction outer side as the second inclined surface extends from the radial-direction outer side toward the radial-direction inner side.

Abstract: A vehicle front structure is provided for preventing a vortex from being generated between high-speed air separated from an outer edge of a deflector and low-speed air in a front wheel house due to a wind speed difference. Embodiments include a deflector disposed in front of a front wheel house projected downward from a lower surface of a bumper face. The deflector includes an air introducing section to introduce air into a space inside the deflector in a front portion of the deflector; and an intermediate-speed wind generating hole section that communicates with the air introducing section and generates an airflow at an intermediate wind speed, lower than a wind speed of air separated from deflector outer edges and higher than a wind speed of air in the front wheel house, in an area not opposing a tire in a vehicle front view of a portion immediately behind the deflector.

Abstract: A vehicle includes a rear lamp, a side surface, and a rear surface. The rear lamp is disposed on a rear end and an upper end of a lower side surface and a rear end and a side end of the vehicle, and includes a lamp body extending in a front-rear direction of the vehicle. The side surface includes the lower side surface bulging toward a vehicle-width-direction outer side with respect to the rear lamp at a front side of a height position overlapping with the rear lamp. The rear surface includes an extending surface extending toward the vehicle-width-direction outer side with respect to the lamp body in a top view of the vehicle from a lower portion of the lamp body. A side surface airflow is directed toward a vehicle-width-direction inner side through the extending surface and the generation of a large trailing vortex is suppressed.
