A vehicle ensures deployment stability of a compact knee airbag while improving design flexibility, by disposing the knee airbag in a lower portion of a storage box. The vehicle includes a knee airbag arranged in front of a passenger seat in a lower portion of a glove box. The glove box has a housing which is fixed to an instrument panel by a plurality of support portions and which demarcates a storage space. An instrument panel member fixed to the vehicle body is disposed above a ceiling wall of the housing. The ceiling wall has a displacement regulation wall portion which bulges upward compared to another portion of the ceiling wall and is spaced apart from the instrument panel member such that the displacement regulation wall portion abuts the instrument panel member when the knee airbag is deployed.

A vehicle interior structure includes a pedal-backward-preventive bracket against which a supporting portion of a control panel abuts when the control pedal controlled by a foot of a driver moves backward, the pedal-backward-preventive bracket being fixed to an instrumental panel support member extending in a vehicle width direction, a mount bracket on which a head-up display is mounted, the mount bracket being fixed to the instrumental panel support member, and a load transfer portion that is provided between the pedal-backward-preventive bracket and the mount bracket to transfer a rearward load input to the pedal-backward-preventive bracket to the mount bracket via the supporting portion.
