ABSTRACT:
In a front end structure of a vehicle, a heat exchanger is arranged at a position lower than a bumper reinforcement member, so a position of an engine hood is lowered. Electric auxiliary devices such as a radar, electronic control units for lights, and an air cleaner are arranged at a position higher than the bumper reinforcement member or at the rear of the bumper reinforcement member. By this arrangement, the electric auxiliary devices are arranged at a position which is less likely to be affected by the bumper reinforcement member in a case of light frontal crush.
