VEHICLE FRONT STRUCTURE

To provide a vehicle front structure which can achieve pedestrian protection performance and inhibit damage of vehicle components during a light collision even if a plate member is adopted in a beam member having closed cross sections.SOLUTION: A vehicle front structure comprises: a beam member 24 positioned in front of a sub frame 14 in a vehicle and having closed-cross sections 25, 26 extending in a vehicle width direction; and a plate member 30 extending to the vehicle front from the beam member 24. The plate member 30 comprises: a fixation portion 32 fixed to the beam member 24; a body portion 33 extending to the vehicle front from the fixation portion 32; and a front end portion 34 positioned at a front end of the body portion 33 and configured to have higher rigidity against a load applied in a longitudinal direction than that of the body portion 33. The front end portion 34 comprises: an upper section 34U located at a higher level than the body portion 33; and a lower section 34L located at a lower level than the body portion 33. The upper section 34U is positioned at the vehicle front relative to the lower section 34L.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 6 【課題】閉断面を有するビーム部材にプレート部材を採用しても、歩行者保護性能と、軽衝突時の車両部品損傷抑制と、の両立を図ることができる車両の前部構造の提供を目的とする。【解決手段】サブフレーム１４の車両前方に位置して車幅方向に延設される閉断面２５，２６を有するビーム部材２４と、ビーム部材２４から車両前方に延びるプレート部材３０と、を備え、プレート部材３０は、ビーム部材２４に固定される固定部３２と、固定部３２から車両前方に延びる本体部３３と、本体部３３の前端において本体部３３よりも前後方向荷重に対して高剛性に構成される前端部３４と、を備え、前端部３４は、本体部３３よりも上方に位置する上方部位３４Ｕと、本体部３３よりも下方に位置する下方部位３４Ｌと、を有し、上方部位３４Ｕは下方部位３４Ｌよりも車両前方に位置することを特徴とする。【選択図】図６
