Abstract
A vehicle body front structure includes: a front side frame extending in a longitudinal direction of a vehicle body; a side frame disposed laterally outside the front side frame in a vehicle width direction and extending in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle body; and a damper housing disposed laterally inside the side frame in the vehicle width direction. The side frame extends obliquely in a frontward and downward direction from a bent portion formed in proximity to the damper housing, and has a rectangular cross-section formed by a U-shaped member having a generally U-shaped cross-section and a lid member disposed on an open side of the U-shaped member. A first bendable portion is formed at a front end portion of the side frame by setting a strength of the lid member lower than a strength of the U-shaped member.
