An active air module for a vehicle. The module includes an active air feature having at least an open and closed position. Air is allowed to enter when in the open position and airflow is at least partially blocked in the closed position. A soft actuator such as a twisted coiled polymer actuator apparatus is used for actuation of the active air feature from the closed position to the open position.
