English term or phrase: front end
parte interior de un automóvil, tal vez tablero de instrumentos
Felix Villegas
Spanish translation:(ambíguo)
Explanation:
¿Seguro que se refiere al interior? El tablero es "dashboard". "Front end" se refiere a toda la parte de adelante del auto. De la primera referencia,

"THE FRONT END:
This means all the stuff that basically holds the wheels onto the rest of the car--a nice feature to have. You can't really check the front end yourself. Go to your mechanic and ask him to "check the front end"--this includes ball joints, tie rods, steering components, etc."

Pero también tiene otro significado en la área de ventas. De la 2a referencia:
"The front end is the most common term for a dealerships sales division."

Tiene razón; viendo un diagrama, no es parte interior y sí concuerda más con "la parte delantera del auto" que incluye diversas partes. Gracias.

parte frontal


Explanation:
"front end" es simplemente la parte (o el lado) frontal, sin especificar de qué se trata.

Quote from the ref site:
"Esto hizo posible trasladar el aparato de aire acondicionado y calefacción del interior hacia delante de la separación de la ***parte frontal***, donde se ha dispuesto un compresor eléctrico de acondicionamiento del aire..."

Saludos...
