A vehicle body front structure includes a side frame and a tubular member. The side member extends in a longitudinal direction of a vehicle body. The side frame member is configured to have a closed hollow section in a vertical direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction. The tubular member extends in the longitudinal direction within the side frame. The tubular member is configured to have a closed hollow section in the vertical direction. The tubular member is spaced apart from the side frame.

Vehicle body front structure

A vehicle brake system comprises an input device () attached to a bulkhead () separating a power unit room and a passenger compartment of the vehicle from each other, and including a part extending into the power unit room. A free end of the part of the input device extending into the power unit room is fitted with a protective member () defining a slanted surface () opposing the power unit and slanting rearward as one moves in a prescribed lateral direction so that the input device is protected from a frontal impact. In particular, the slanted surface aligns with a corner part () of the power unit ().

Vehicle brake system

A vehicle front structure includes a front frame member, a bumper beam () disposed at a front section of the vehicle in a vehicle width direction, a crush box () fixed to a rear surface of the bumper beam () and having a rear end portion coupled to a front end portion of the front frame member, and a corner reinforcement member () disposed at a corner portion formed between the rear surface of the bumper beam () and the side surface of the crush box (), wherein an outer surface of the corner reinforcement member () is joined in a state in which the outer surface abuts the rear surface of the bumper beam () and the side surface of the crush box ().

Vehicle front structure

A vehicle body structure () is provided with: an exhaust pipe () disposed between a fuel container () and a right framework member () so as to extend in the front-rear direction of the vehicle body; and a slide member () provided to the framework side wall () of the right framework member (). The slide member () is provided to the portion () of the framework side wall (), which is overlapped by the fuel container () and a chamber () in the width direction of the vehicle. The slide member () has a slide slope section (). The slide slope section () is tilted inward in the width direction of the vehicle from the lower end () toward the upper end () so as to approach the fuel tank ().
