A vehicle includes a vehicle body having an underside and a mesh underbody panel. The mesh underbody panel is attached to the underside of the vehicle body, thereby, shielding vehicle components from a ground surface. The vehicle is situated such that the mesh underbody panel and the ground surface define a pathway through which air flows while the vehicle is in motion. The mesh underbody panel includes apertures extending therethrough that allow airflow through the mesh underbody panel while the vehicle is stopped or traveling within a low-speed range and restrict airflow through the mesh underbody panel while the vehicle is traveling within a high-speed range.
