Abstract: A bulge portion bulging rearward is provided at a dash panel. A reinforcement is fixed to an inner surface of the bulge portion. A rear end wall portion of the bulge portion is positioned at the rear of a center portion of a rear end portion of a cowl panel in a vehicle width direction.

Abstract: A vehicle body structure includes: a front lateral ring-shaped vehicle body framework (FWC) having a substantially ring shape in a vehicle lateral direction, disposed near suspension towers (65), and constituted by front subframes (66), suspension tower reinforcing members (65b), and a cowl box (62); and longitudinal ring-shaped vehicle body frameworks (SLC) disposed along side door openings (Es). The vehicle body structure includes: cowl side frames (64) coupling upper ends of hinge pillars (45) constituting the longitudinal ring-shaped vehicle body frameworks (SLC) to the suspension towers (65) in a vehicle longitudinal direction; and side part panels (71) connected to the cowl box (62) and coupled to the suspension towers (65).

Abstract: There are provided a front side frame having a closed cross section extending in a vehicle longitudinal direction and including a mount-bracket attachment part for attaching a PT mount bracket provided at a PT mount for supporting a powertrain and a crash can attached to a front end of the front side frame. The front side frame includes a compressive-deformation part which is configured to be compressively deformed in a vehicle frontal collision and extend rearward from the front end, having substantially the same sectional shape as the crash can. A gusset member for preventing shearing deformation of the closed cross section of the front side frame is provided at a portion of the front side frame between the mount-bracket attachment part and the compressive-deformation part.

Abstract: A front structure of a motor vehicle includes a pair of left and right front side frames, a pair of left and right apron reinforcements, and reinforcing members extending in a vertical direction to couple the left front side frame to the left apron reinforcement, and the right front side frame to the right apron reinforcement. Each reinforcing member is provided on a surface, facing outside in a width direction of the motor vehicle, of a peripheral wall of a suspension tower, and forms a closed cross section with a portion of the peripheral wall.

Abstract: There are provided an outer panel, an inner panel, a second reinforcement provided in the main closed-cross section and cooperates with the outer panel to form a sub closed-cross section extending longitudinally, a bead portion formed at a portion of the inner panel which is located at a position corresponding to the second reinforcement, and configured to be a starting point causing bending of a front side frame toward the second reinforcement when a collision load is applied in a vehicle collision, and a second attaching member provided at a position located on a front-end side of the front side frame relatively to the second reinforcement and configured to make the second reinforcement crushable in a bending direction in the vehicle collision. The second attaching member comprises a knot-shaped member provided inside the main closed-cross section.
