Abstract
In a vehicle front structure (), a cross member () which is disposed above paired side members () includes vehicle width-direction both end portions extending toward a rear side of the vehicle. The cross member () is connected with vehicle front-side portions of the paired suspension towers () at edges of the extending portions. Therefore, when a vehicle has a frontal collision at high speed, a collision load applied to the cross member () can be effectively received by the paired suspension towers (), and can be transmitted to the paired suspensions. Thus, the cross member () can effectively receive the collision load, and can efficiently transmit the collision load to the rear side of the vehicle.
