ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a front structure of a vehicle, which comprises a pair of right and left front side frames, a shroud installed between respective front ends of the side frames, a pair of right and left headlamps each arranged on a lateral side of a corresponding one of laterally opposite sidewalls of the shroud and provided with a headlamp housing serving as an outer shell thereof, and a hood panel adapted to cover above the shroud when it is in a fully closed position. In this front structure, each of the headlamp housings has a contact portion located below a corresponding one of opposite front lateral ends of the hood panel in the fully closed position, and each of the sidewalls of the shroud has an upper region provided with a catch portion which is disposed above and in opposed relation to the contact portion of a corresponding one of the headlamp housings and adapted to come into contact with the contact portion when the headlamp housing is applied with an eternal impact force, so as to restrict an upward movement of the headlamp.
