Fascia (/ˈfeɪʃə/) is a term used in the automotive world that refers to the decorative panels of a car's dashboard[1] or the dashboard assembly.[2][3]
Regulations affecting bumper design in the late 1970s saw the increasing use of soft plastic materials on the front and rear of vehicles. Fascia was adopted then as the term to describe these soft areas,[4] but is now increasingly used as a general term for a car's set of front-end components: grille, headlamps, front bumper, and other details.[5]
A bumper valance panel, a piece that is mounted on top of the bumper, or is right under it, is also considered a part of the vehicle's fascia. Carmakers often design the body panels that form the nose of their vehicles to have a unified look across their model line (see the ‘shark’ grille by Mitsubishi, or ‘tiger-nose’ grille by Kia[6]).
The word comes from the Italian word fascia (pronounced [ˈfaʃʃa]), meaning stripe.

The 1980 Cordoba, meanwhile, keeps its more traditional front-end ensemble, with an upright grille and metal bumper. It too, uses a soft fascia, even so.
