Abstract

A vehicle front body structure includes: a vehicle body structural member disposed below a front end of a hood and extends substantially along the vehicle width direction; and an energy absorbing member that protrudes toward a vehicle front side from the vehicle body structural member, extends substantially along the vehicle width direction, and deforms so as to absorb energy upon a collision. The energy absorbing member is secured to the vehicle body structural member at opposite ends of the energy absorbing member in the vehicle width direction. A clearance is defined between a central part of the energy absorbing member in the vehicle width direction and the vehicle body structural member.
