Abstract
In a vehicle front body structure, a subframe is provided below a left front side frame and a right front side frame. The left front side frame has a first fragile portion. The subframe has a second fragile portion and an extension portion. When a bumper beam's left end portion and a left bumper beam extension are crushed by an impact load, a front surface of the bumper beam's left end portion comes to substantially the same position as a front edge portion of the extension portion.
