ABSTRACT:
A front vehicle body structure is configured to transmit and disperse loads imparted from a front of the vehicle body to a wider portion of the vehicle body for improving the energy absorption efficiency. A generally rectangular or C-shaped frame-like structural body is formed by a pair of upper front pillar portions, an upper cross dash portion and either the front roof rail or a pair of side roof rails. Forward-protruding box-cross-section parts are connected to the bottom end parts of the upper front pillar portions and the rear ends of hood ledge members. Lower front pillar portions are connected to the upper front pillar portions, the box-cross-section parts, the upper cross dash portion, and the side sills. The upper cross dash portion is arranged on the axes of the upper front pillar portions as seen in a side elevational view.
