Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A vehicle lower structure includes a plurality of spat body portions and a guide portion. The spat body portions are provided side by side in a vehicle longitudinal direction on a vehicle front side of a wheel, are protruded from an underfloor of the vehicle toward a vehicle lower side, and extend in a vehicle width direction. The guide portion constitutes vehicle-width-direction outer regions of the spat body portions in at least one of second and subsequent rows from a vehicle rear side, is inclined toward the vehicle rear side and outward in the vehicle width direction to guide a traveling wind, and has a vehicle-width-direction outer end that is arranged more outward in the vehicle width direction than a vehicle-width-direction outer end of the spat body portion that is adjacent to the vehicle rear side.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A vehicle lower structure comprising: a plurality of spat body portions that are provided side by side in a vehicle longitudinal direction on a vehicle front side of a wheel, are protruded from an underfloor of the vehicle toward a vehicle lower side, and extend in a vehicle width direction; and a guide portion that constitutes vehicle-width-direction outer regions of the spat body portions in at least one of second and subsequent rows from a vehicle rear side, is inclined toward the vehicle rear side and outward in the vehicle width direction to guide a traveling wind, and has a vehicle-width-direction outer end that is arranged more outward in the vehicle width direction than a vehicle-width-direction outer end of the spat body portion that is adjacent to the vehicle rear side. 2. The vehicle lower structure according to claim 1 , wherein a spacing distance between vehicle-width-direction outer ends of a pair of the spat body portions that are adjacent to each other in the vehicle longitudinal direction is set shorter than a spacing distance between the pair of the spat body portions in the vehicle longitudinal direction. 3. The vehicle lower structure according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of opposed faces of a pair of the spat body portions that are adjacent to each other in the vehicle longitudinal direction is inclined in such a direction as to move away from the opposed spat body portion with decrease in distance to the vehicle lower side. 4. The vehicle lower structure according to claim 3 , wherein a spacing distance between vehicle-width-direction outer ends of the pair of the spat body portions that are adjacent to each other in the vehicle longitudinal direction is set shorter than a spacing distance between the pair of the spat body portions in the vehicle. 5. The vehicle lower structure according to claim 1 , wherein the vehicle-width-direction outer end of the guide portion is arranged closer to the vehicle rear side than the vehicle-width-direction outer end of the spat body portion that is adjacent to the vehicle rear side.
