Abstract
A front body structure is provided to disperse an impact load transmitted from a tire retreating while changing its direction, into a vehicle body effectively and also effect a great absorption of an impact energy. Forming a body framework on the lateral side of a vehicle cabin, a body side frame includes a side-frame inner panel inside the vehicle cabin and a side-frame outer panel outside the vehicle cabin. Extending from the vicinity of a joint between a side member and a dash panel to the body side frame, a torque box includes a torque-box inner panel inside the vehicle cabin and a torque-box outer panel outside the vehicle cabin. In arrangement, a front tire and a wheel are arranged on the side of the torque-box outer panel of the torque box. The body side frame is connected with the torque box so that a surface of the side-frame outer panel connects a surface of the torque-box outer panel.
