Automotive vehicle having engine air guide passage

Abstract

In an automotive vehicle in which an air duct which forms an air guide passage for guiding air that has flowed into an engine compartment to an induction system of an internal combustion engine is provided integrally on an inner surface of a bonnet, a reduction in size and weight of the air duct and a compact disposition of the air duct within the engine compartment are attempted to be realized. An automotive vehicle includes an internal combustion engine 20 which is disposed within an engine compartment and an air duct 40 which is provided integrally on an inner surface of a bonnet 10. The air duct 40 forms an air guide passage 60 for guiding air that has flowed into the engine compartment to an induction system 20i of the internal combustion engine 20 between itself and a bonnet portion 30 which constitutes part of the bonnet 10 in cooperation with the bonnet portion 30. Because of this, the air duct 40 is a duct having an open section in which an edge portion 44 which is brought into abutment with the bonnet portion 30 in such a state that the air duct 40 is attached in place forms an opening along the air guide passage 60.
