A transmission mechanism of a steering system and a front cross member are mounted in the forward position of an engine inside an engine compartment. A housing portion is provided under the front cross member to accommodate the transmission mechanism. This arrangement realizes wider space for disposing auxiliary components as well as protection of the transmission mechanism in case of collision of the vehicle.
