Abstract: A D seat front beam has an inner end in a vehicle width direction fixed to a first column support point, and a point of fixation of the D seat front beam to the front lower pillar is provided further on a rear side in a vehicle front and rear direction than a first column support point. The D seat front beam extends toward an inner side in the vehicle width direction and toward the front side in the vehicle front and rear direction, from the point of fixation to the front lower pillar toward the first column support point.

Abstract: The instrument panel reinforcement includes a column attachment portion, a side end portion, and an inclined portion. The side end portion is fixed to a front lower pillar. The inclined portion is provided between the column attachment portion and the side end portion, extends toward an inner side in the vehicle width direction and toward a rear side in a vehicle front and rear direction from a bent portion at an inner end in the vehicle width direction of the side end portion, and is connected to the column attachment portion. A cowl to brace has a rear end fixed to the bent portion of the instrument panel reinforcement.

Abstract: A gusset is joined to an instrument panel reinforcement and a floor brace. The instrument panel reinforcement includes a D seat rear beam extending from a portion to be joined to the floor brace to a portion for supporting the steering column.
