Abstract
In a vehicle body structure, rear portions of right and left front side members are gently curved downward, and rear end portions of the right and left front side members are bonded to front floor side members. A dash panel is provided to separate an engine compartment and a passenger compartment of a vehicle. A cross member dash assuming a closed cross-sectional shape is fixed to a front surface of the dash panel. Opposite end portions of the cross member dash are bent toward the rear of the vehicle to constitute bent portions. Side member braces are laid between the front side members and the bent portions of the cross member dash to connect them together.
