Abstract
A support frame is provided to extend upward and rearward from a portion of a front side frame near a suspension tower substantially straight and connect to an upper portion of a hinge pillar. Accordingly, there can be provided a front structure of an automotive vehicle that can properly restrain a forward deformation of a cabin by transmitting an impact load at a vehicle frontal crash to the hinge pillar efficiently.
