ABSTRACT:
Front side members (11, 12) are formed with outward bent portions (11A,12A) at the front sides. Bumper reinforcement (13) is formed with rear slant portions (13A) at the both ends. The front ends of the outward bent portions (11A,12A) are connected with the rear slant portions (13A). Interference members (40) are formed on the rear side of the proximal portions of the outward bent portions (11A,12A). The interference members (40) interfere with power unit (P) to restrict a deformation of the front side member at a collision. Side members (31) of a sub frame (30) are stronger than the outward bent portions (11A,12A) and the front end positions (K1) of the outward bent portions (11A,12A) are arranged on the inside in the vehicle width direction and on the rear side in the vehicle fore and aft direction of the front end positions (K2) of the outward bent portions (11A,12A).
