Vehicle front body structure
A vehicle front body structure including a framework member provided at a front end of an upper member which extends forwardly from a front pillar closest to a driver's seat. The framework member includes an inclined portion which extends forward over and beyond a front wheel, and a vertical portion which extends from a front end of the inclined portion in such a manner as to be suspended in front of the front wheel. When, in a collision between vehicles, a front side member of an oncoming vehicle collides with own vehicle at a position outside a front side member in a vehicle widthwise direction, a resulting impact is alleviated by the framework member, precluding the front pillar from being exerted with an excessive amount of impact force.
