Patent ID: 8196998

Claim:
A vehicle front structure comprising: a pair of right and left apron side members, each extending in the vehicle longitudinal direction and having a closed cross section structure; a bumper located on the front side of the front end portions of the apron side members; and a grille attached to an air intake opening in the bumper, wherein shock absorbing parts formed integrally with the grille are disposed between the bumper and the front end portions of the apron side members, wherein each of the shock absorbing parts is formed as a concave portion that is concave from a lateral end part of the grille toward the vehicle rear side, and has an opening that is open to the vehicle front side, peripheral walls extending substantially along the vehicle longitudinal direction, and a back wall connecting the rear end parts of the peripheral walls to each other, so that when a shock load is applied to the bumper from the vehicle front side, the shock absorbing part receives the shock load via the bumper and the back wall comes into contact with the front end surface of the apron side member.
