An example vehicle includes a passenger compartment; a nose region forwards of the passenger compartment, the nose region having a top surface; and an airflow deflector positioned on the top surface of the nose region, the airflow deflector comprising a first panel projecting from the top surface of the nose region; and a second panel coupled to the first panel, the second panel being spaced from the first panel to form a channel between the first and second panels, the channel having an inlet facing towards the top surface of the nose region so that a rearwardly moving airflow incident on the first panel is directed towards the channel inlet and an outlet facing away from the top surface of the nose region so that air flowing through the outlet is directed in an upwards direction, the upwards airflow causing disruption to a rearward airflow moving towards the passenger compartment.
