Claim:
A vehicle bumper structure comprising: a bumper cover arranged at an outermost side of a vehicle and extending in a vehicle width direction; a bumper reinforcing member disposed spaced apart from the bumper cover toward the inside of the vehicle, the bumper reinforcing member extending in the vehicle width direction; a load-sensing unit for sensing an impact load in a vehicle longitudinal direction, the load-sensing unit being arranged on an outside or an inside surface of the bumper reinforcing member; and a bumper shock-absorbing member arranged between the bumper cover and the bumper reinforcing member and extending in the vehicle width direction, wherein the bumper shock-absorbing member has a bumper center region and bumper corner regions which differ in at least one of a cross-sectional shape, a cross-sectional structure and a hardness from each other, so that variations in an output of the load-sensing unit are reduced; and the bumper shock-absorbing member is formed in a plural layer structure including a relatively soft layer and a relatively hard layer, the hard layer being thicker at the bumper center region in the vehicle width direction and being thinner or being not present at the bumper corner regions in the vehicle width direction.
