Abstract
A vehicle front structure includes a hood, a storage part, and a support. The hood covers a vehicle front of a vehicle from above. The storage part is disposed below the hood and has a shape of a recess including a bottom wall, a front wall, and a rear wall. The support supports the bottom wall of the storage part from below. The support extends in a vehicle width direction of the vehicle and supports the storage part on a front side with respect to a front-rear center of the storage part. The storage part is configured to be bent such that a rear side of the bottom wall with respect to the support moves downward near a rear end of the support by an input from the hood upon a collision with a pedestrian.
