Abstract:
A vehicle front structure is configured such that an absorber is provided on a front surface of a center brace that connects in a vehicle up and down direction a radiator support upper to a radiator support lower. Accordingly, when a load is input from a front side of a vehicle, a load transfer passage through the absorber, the center brace, and the radiator support upper or the radiator support lower is newly configured, thereby improving impact absorption performance.
