ABSTRACT:
A vehicular front structure is configured so that stresses do not concentrate in the upper joint part and the lower joint part of a front pillar, and even if the front pillar is made thin, the joint strength of the upper and lower parts of the front pillar is improved.The upper part of a front pillar (17) is joined to the side end part of a roof header member (41) and the front end part of a roof side member (42) via an upper joint panel (43). The front pillar is provided between the side edge of a windshield glass and the front edge of a side door and is formed in a tubular shape by the joint of a pillar inner panel (31) and a pillar outer panel (32), and the roof header member is provided along the upper edge of the windshield glass and is formed into a substantially tubular shape by the joint of a header inner panel (44) and a roof panel (45). Also, the roof side member is provided along the upper edge of the side door and is formed into a tubular shape by the joint of a side inner panel (46) and a roof-forming member (45). Further, the upper joint panel is provided on the cab inside of the pillar inner panel.
