Vehicle front structure

Abstract

Disclosed is a vehicle front structure, which comprises a bumper fascia, a lower shroud member, a subframeincluding a first shock-absorbing module, and a second shock-absorbing modulehaving a stiffness less than that of the first shock-absorbing module. A subframe bodyis formed in an approximately rectangular shape and disposed on a rear side of the lower shroud member. The first shock-absorbing moduleincludes an energy-absorbing sectionand a beam member. The energy-absorbing sectionhas a configuration which extends frontwardly from respective front end regions of the subframe bodylocated on laterally-opposite sides thereof, along respective opposite lateral surfaces of the lower shroud member, and the beam memberhas a configuration bridging between respective front ends of the energy-absorbing section, at a height position approximately equal to or adjacent to that of a lower edge of the lower shroud member. The second shock-absorbing modulehas a bulging portionwhich covers at least a part of a front surface of the beam member. The vehicle front structure of the present invention can ensure sufficient pedestrian protection performance by means of enhancing impact energy-absorbing capacity, while achieving enhanced repairability in the event of a low-impact collision.
