A pair of left and right front side members (1) each have a front end to which an upper crash box (4) is fastened via flange portions (1a, 4a). A pair of left and right front suspension members (7) are disposed below the front side members (1). Each of the front suspension members (7) has a front end to which a lower crash box (10) is fastened via flange portions (7a, 10a) by inner and outer fastening portions (13out) arranged diagonally. The upper crash box (4) and the lower crash box (10) respectively have front ends that are connected via a bumper reinforcement side (15). Each of the fastening portions (13in, 13out) is spaced apart from an outer surface of the lower crash box (10) to facilitate deformation of the flange portions (7a, 10a). At a time of a slight-wrap frontal collision, the lower crash box (10) is rotationally displaced in a plan view while the flange portions (7a, 10a) are deformed, to promote lateral shift of a vehicle body.
