A vehicle, such as an automobile, having a body designed to yield upon impact at at least one end portion thereof, and having impact absorbing apparatus, including a bumper, arranged entirely within the end portion. The end portion is constructed so as to yield in such a manner that any significant energy dissipation occurs only upon deformation of the impact absorbing apparatus. The end portion is preferably formed of at least one resilient member made of soft plastic material that yields upon impact.
