ABSTRACT:
A vehicle body structure in which a ridge of a front side member is continuous with a ridge of a dash brace to make it possible to efficiently transmit an impact force, and which is capable of realizing an intended deformation of the front side member suited to the impact force, while effectively utilizing a reaction force generated in a side frame member. A front portion of the dash brace is inserted into the front side member through a notch formed in a dash panel, and is overlapped with and spot-welded to a side face of the front side member, whereby the ridge of the front side member is directly continuous with the ridge of the dash brace.
