To suppress damage on a bonnet at light collision, a vehicle-body structure includes rear-portion crush cans that perform compressive deformation when a first predetermined load is applied, and front-portion crush cans that perform compressive deformation when a second predetermined load smaller than the first predetermined load is applied. A front portion of a bonnet is positioned on a vehicle rear side of front portions of the rear-portion crush cans.
