Abstract

A suspension member is coupled to a front side attachment portion and a rear side attachment portion of a front side member. A stabilizer bracket is secured to the section of the front side member between a front end portion of the front side member and the front side attachment portion. A reinforcement member that projects outward in the vehicle width direction relative to the front end portion is bonded to a vehicle width direction outside side wall portion of the front end portion. The reinforcement member makes the vehicle front and rear direction yield strength of the front side member higher at the front end portion than at the section between the front side attachment portion and the rear side attachment portion.
