ABSTRACT:
A front body construction of a vehicle includes a lengthwise front side frame welded to the lower periphery of each of left and right wheel houses in the form of a substantially quatered spherical segment. Inner and outer extension frames different in length extend from the front side frame and are laterally spaced apart from each other. To the outer extension frame an apron frame welded to an outer edge of the wheel house is welded at its lower end. A frontal impact force is received by the inner and outer extension frames, specifically by the longer one at first and, then, by the shorter one when a buckling or crushing is caused in the longer one due to frontal impact force.
