PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a vehicle cooling apparatus capable of suppressing reduction in a cooling performance due to degradation in an air flow distribution to a cooling target part caused by air resistance during increasing a vehicle speed when an open/close mechanism is opened.SOLUTION: A vehicle cooling apparatus includes a grille shutter 80 provided in a lower outside-air inlet portion 71 disposed in a front portion of the vehicle for guiding outside-air to a lower region 50a of a cooling target portion 50. The grille shutter 80 includes a plurality of air guide plates 82a to 82c and an air guide plate actuator 83 that turns the plurality of air guide plates 82a to 82c to: a normal condition of guiding air to the lower region 50a; and a diffusion condition of guiding air to diffusion regions 50a, 50b, 50c. While the grille shutter 80 is opened, an opening/closing control unit 90 controls the air guide plates 82a to 82c to turn from the normal condition to the diffusion condition in accordance with a vehicle speed V. |
