Disclosed is a vehicle front structure, which comprises a bumper fascia 2, a lower shroud member 3b, a subframe 5 including a first shock-absorbing module 7, and a second shock-absorbing module 10 having a stiffness less than that of the first shock-absorbing module 7. A subframe body 6 is formed in an approximately rectangular shape and disposed on a rear side of the lower shroud member 3b. The first shock-absorbing module 7 includes an energy-absorbing section 8, 8 and a beam member 9. The energy-absorbing section 8, 8 has a configuration which extends frontwardly from respective front end regions of the subframe body 6 located on laterally-opposite sides thereof, along respective opposite lateral surfaces of the lower shroud member 3b, and the beam member 9 has a configuration bridging between respective front ends of the energy-absorbing section 8, 8, at a height position approximately equal to or adjacent to that of a lower edge of the lower shroud member 3b. The second shock-absorbing module 10 has a bulging portion 10a which covers at least a part of a front surface of the beam member 9. The vehicle front structure of the present invention can ensure sufficient pedestrian protection performance by means of enhancing impact energy-absorbing capacity, while achieving enhanced repairability in the event of a low-impact collision.
