A vehicle includes a vehicle support member at an underside of the vehicle. A bumper assembly is at a front of the vehicle and includes a bumper fascia and a bumper reinforcement beam covered by the bumper fascia providing an upper projecting bumper portion. A lower reinforcement member is connected to the vehicle support member at a location below the bumper reinforcement beam in a vehicle vertical direction that is covered by the bumper fascia providing a lower projecting bumper portion. The lower reinforcement member includes a reinforcement body having a rear end connected to the vehicle support member and a front end opposite the rear end. The lower reinforcement member is connected to the bumper fascia and is configured to have a lowered configuration where the front end of the reinforcement body moves downward in the vehicle vertical direction upon impact to the bumper fascia at the lower projecting bumper portion and a raised configuration where the front end of the reinforcement body moves upward, after the bumper fascia contacts the front end of the reinforcement body during the impact.
