Too Afraid to Ask

The grill is the part you see in front of a car, right below the hood. It lets air get into the engine and also looks like a face for the car.

Technical Definition

The grill is the front opening of a vehicle’s hood, often covered with metal or plastic panels. It allows air to flow into the engine bay and also serves as a key visual element that can define a car’s character.
