Primary Air Intake: It allows a controlled flow of cool outside air to enter the engine compartment.
Radiator and Engine Cooling: The incoming air passes through the grille to reach the radiator and other heat exchangers (like the condenser for the A/C). This airflow is essential for dissipating engine heat and preventing overheating.
Component Protection: It acts as a physical barrier, helping to shield the radiator, condenser, and other critical components behind it from larger road debris, stones, and minor impacts.
